Foundations Revealed Competition
2025 COMPETITION THEME ANNOUNCEMENT!
Flight
#FRCompetition2025
Prizewinners will be announced at 6:00 p.m. BST, Friday 17th of October 2025, on our YouTube channel.
Prepare to let your creativity soar in next year’s FR Competition theme “Flight”! We invite you to explore and interpret this wondrous concept in all its forms—from the delicate wings of a butterfly to the robust gears of fantastical airships. Whether your inspiration takes flight from the mythological Icarus or Quetzalcoatl, the Valkyries, the pioneering aviators of the early 20th century, or the futuristic possibilities of jetpacks and flying cars, the sky is truly the limit.
Consider channelling the majestic eagle with costumes that capture the beauty and might of a bird in flight, or craft something ethereal with garments that echo the gods and goddesses of the skies. Why not experiment with the aesthetics of early hot air balloon flight, or vintage pilot gear from the 1920s complete with leather and goggles, or craft an outfit inspired by innovative concepts of space travel?
This competition isn't just about creating a costume; it's about embodying the spirit of adventure and innovation that flight represents. Use fabrics that flow and structures that defy the ordinary. Your design could be a literal interpretation or an abstract representation, encouraging you to think outside the box.
We've got just one caveat - let's steer clear of real-world military references. Apart from that, let your creativity ascend to new heights and perhaps, in crafting your vision of flight, you'll find yourself transported not just in body, but in spirit. Join us, and let’s make next year’s event a breath-taking spectacle of airborne wonders!
We ask that all entries adhere to our Diversity and Inclusion policy and our Website Terms And Conditions

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING ABOUT ENTERING THE CONTEST
For anyone on the fence next year, I would say that simply making the time for yourself to make something for the contest is an act of self-care… no matter the result, that's always a worthwhile thing.

It has been exhilarating to enter the competition and work on my entry. I would like everyone who is on the fence about entering to be bold.
To allow themselves to create, without censoring their creative brain. To be brave and share their work.
