About the Challenge
African culture is a stream of vibrant color, a pulsing rhythm, and a wellspring of energy. From ancient wisdom woven into totem patterns to the striking contrasts of its visual arts, every element carries a distinct regional signature.
PDP invites creators worldwide to use “African Culture × Modernity” as inspiration, blending the roots of African culture with contemporary design to create outfits that unite traditional soul with modern style. This contest features a total prize pool of US $20,000. Outstanding creations may be added to the game, and may also see a physical release offline in collaboration with well-known local designers and brands.
