The public will vote for the woman who inspires them the most and stand a chance to be winners themselves, with prizes such as VIP tickets to the BE YOUR DREAM award night and tailor-made Vlisco dresses. The celebrations do not end there. The whole month of March, everybody is invited to vote for the candidate that inspired them most at any Vlisco shop, or online at www.beyourdream.vlisco.com Voting starts on February 18th. Apart from encouraging women to dream, we also want to empower them to unleash their potential. Imaginative female creative fashion professionals (tailors, designers, stylists) can send in their business plan for the VLISCO FASHION DREAM FUND, and win the funding to realize it. Candidates can get more information on beyourdream.vlisco.com. The winners will be selected by a Vlisco jury. Three winners throughout West and Central Africa will respectively win 10,000, 7,000 or 5,000 US Dollars and Vlisco will support them with business advice to help them out. Voters can win tickets to the award night & fashion show and a tailor made dress of their choice, made in the latest Super-wax fabric. ]]>
