In addition to technical papers, the conference has announced innovation contests for students in textile and fashion products. Students from across the world have been invited to showcase innovative textile products having application in medical, sports, social or any other field.

Any working prototype, developed by students, as part of a class project can be entered in the competition. The ability of a student to identify a problem, ideate and conceptualise a solution and convert it into a working prototype of a useful product will be assessed.

Innovative fashion products / clothing incorporating an innovative technology have been invited to enter the contest. Any product developed by a student as part of a class project can be entered in the competition.
