YYC Paper Dress Competition

YYC Paper Dress Challenge

Part of The Big Draw Festival 2026

Discover where art meets fashion at North Hill Centre!

As part of The Big Draw Festival, we're bringing creativity to life with a fun and imaginative Paper Dress Competition featuring enthusiastic Youth Central volunteers!

Inspired by original drawings and artwork created by elementary school students, teams will turn ordinary paper into extraordinary wearable fashion. Each team will incorporate the children's artwork into its designs, creating unique outfits that celebrate imagination, teamwork, and artistic expression.

Watch as creative ideas take shape, from the first sketches to the final paper creations, culminating in a lively fashion showcase where each team reveals its one-of-a-kind design and the inspiration behind it.

This special event celebrates the spirit of The Big Draw Festival by connecting young artists, youth volunteers, and the community through the joy of creativity.

Come cheer on our young designers and see how children's imagination can inspire wearable works of art!
