A big congratulations to the Top 20 and as usual we’d like to thank all of the participants for their lovely entries. If you didn’t see your design amongst the Top 20, don’t worry as we’ll continue to have more design challenges through the year. As for the announcement of the winner of this challenge, we’re all gonna have to wait until the 18th of April: the day the Top 20 designs go down the runway at the Materialise World Conference. The winner and runner-ups will then be chosen by the present jury chaired by Master milliner Elvis Pompilio.
