By now you've surely heard of the Junk to Funk Recycled Fashion Show Contest since it's approaching its 3rd year and not only sustaining, but going strong. J2F encourages you to dive into the nearest dumpster and come out with a flashy, functional, funky getup to show off on the runway!

J2F is an annual event featuring 30 selected pieces of creative, wearable art designed with "trash" as both inspiration and textile. Judging takes place as designs are strutted down the runway and is based on three criteria: 1) percentage of recycled material, 2) creativity, and 3) craftsmanship. Artists are competing for cash prizes! Submissions for entry are encouraged by professional artists and apparel designers as well the creative public (that's you!)
