  • WoolOn 2024 - Call for Entries

Entries are now open for WoolOn 2024.

From its modest inception, WoolOn has become a staple on the Central Otago Events Calendar. Attracting participants from across New Zealand and beyond, it has evolved from a modestly budgeted small show into a series of events and a fashion spectacle.

Wool's narrative is significant not just for Central Otago, where the Awards take place, but for all of New Zealand. The region's landscape has consistently provided the ideal inspiration for designers' fashion creations throughout the years.

The WoolOn Creative Fashion Event bridges fibre, art, and glamour. It showcases bold, avant-garde designs crafted from a splendid natural material. Each entry must contain at least 75% wool, and the event features nine distinct categories.
