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!
