Fashion Aid Philippines is opening its doors to young Filipino designers through The Grant 2025, offering them a chance to showcase their talent globally.

The Grant 2025 is a nationwide design competition created to discover and support rising Filipino talents in fashion, accessories, and lifestyle design.

The competition seeks fresh, original voices celebrating Filipino identity through innovative, world-class work. Winners will receive scholarships to top international design schools, support in product development, and a chance to showcase their creations globally.

“This initiative is our investment in the future of Filipino design,” said Paul Cabral, President of Fashion Aid Philippines, in a press release.

“It offers mentorship, cultural exchange, and global opportunities — all while staying rooted in our heritage,” he added.

The competition is open to Filipino citizens aged 18 to 30 living in the Philippines. Interested participants must be designers in fashion, accessories, furniture, or industrial design.

To apply, submit a scanned copy of a valid government ID and a short video presentation (maximum of 5 minutes) featuring an existing product you designed. Send to fashionaidphilippines [at] gmail [dot] com between April 1 and May 15, 2025.

Shortlisted participants will undergo mentoring and product development from June to August, with the winners to be announced in September 2025.
