British Fashion Council (BFC) has launched The BFC Changemakers Prize in Partnership with Swarovski, a new project which aims to discover and celebrate individuals within the fashion industry; the unsung stars who go above and beyond, making outstanding contributions and striving for positive change.

The 2021 BFC Changemakers Prize in Partnership with Swarovski is open to anyone working in the fashion industry, initially in the UK, and focuses on celebrating individuals and championing inclusivity and innovative thinking. Entrants will be nominated by colleagues, peers, businesses and employers in recognition of outstanding work that aligns with one of the three pillars of the BFC’s Institute of Positive Fashion (IPF): Environment, People or Craftsmanship and Community.

Nominations are now open and more information on criteria and entry forms can be found here. Nominations are open until 11 May with the nine finalists announced in May and the three ultimate winners in July.
