This Competition is only open to UK-based businesses (sole traders, partnerships and companies) (“Businesses”), that –

• have been trading for less than 5 years as at 1 May 2016; and
• operate a fashion brand (e.g. menswear, womenswear, unisexwear, accessories, footwear and/or jewellery) (“Brand”). Non-fashion product extensions will not be taken into account for the purposes of this Competition; and
• sell new (i.e. not vintage or second-hand) and original fashion products.

To make sure the Competition is conducted fairly, we cannot accept applications from Businesses which are professionally connected to ASOS or a Competition judge (either directly or indirectly). This means that the following are excluded:

• Businesses where a director or member of senior management (which will include all Representatives and Key Individuals – see section C below) is -
  • an employee, director, consultant/advisor, or contractor of/to a business within the ASOS Group, or is directly involved in the Competition (including judges);
  • a husband/wife/partner or family member of the same household of - (i) a member of senior management of a business within the ASOS Group (i.e. Heads Of or above, including Board Members); and/or (ii) anyone directly involved in the Competition (including judges); and
• Businesses that are professionally connected to a Competition judge, i.e. the Competition judge, or a close family member (husband, wife, partner, mother, father, brother, sister, son, or daughter) of the Competition judge, is an employee, director, member of senior management, consultant, contractor, advisor to, or investor in, the Business; and
• Current suppliers of ASOS.com (branded and ASOS own-brand).

Subject to this, all hard-working and creative Businesses are welcome to enter, including Businesses listed on ASOS Marketplace (a separate platform to ASOS.com, where independent third party boutiques sell direct to customers). Our aim is to ensure that all applications are treated as fairly as possible, so that no entrants are unfairly advantaged.


The two Winners will each win the following prize (“Prize”):

• £50,000 cash to be used to help each Winner grow its Brand;
• An edit of their Brand’s collections to be sold on ASOS.com (and local language sites at ASOS’ discretion) for 3 consecutive seasons starting SS17;
• 50 hours of mentoring split across up to 5 business functions (limited to a maximum of 15 hours per function): Retail, Marketing, Finance, Legal and Sourcing
• Editorial coverage on ASOS channels; and
• ASOS to create a digital fashion look book.

The Winners accept that the extent of all non-financial support, editorial coverage and mentoring support is at ASOS's reasonable discretion and subject to availability. All such assistance must be used within the first 12 months of the Winners' Ceremony.
It’s clearly imperative that our Winners and their collections maintain the same amazing standards throughout the period of them being sold on the ASOS site, as at the date of their winning entries. As a result, if the Key Individuals or key designers leave the Business, the Business must notify ASOS and ASOS reserves the right to reduce the promotion given to those collections.
The ten Shortlisted Businesses who do not become Winners (“Runners-Up”) will each receive the opportunity to trade (rent-free and with a reduced commission rate) as a boutique on the ASOS Marketplace platform for 12 months from the date the Business starts trading on ASOS Marketplace (if the Business already trades on ASOS Marketplace the start date of the Runners-up Prize shall be agreed between ASOS and the Runner-Up) (“Runners-up Prize”). All Shortlisted Businesses that accept the Runners-up Prize must agree to the ASOS Marketplace terms and conditions and such other terms as ASOS may require, acting reasonably.
