Triumph Inspiration Awards 2011!

Triumph (a personal favourite of mine for lingerie) is a brand founded in 1886 with only 6 sewing machines and machinists, in a barn in South Germany!
Since then, it has grown into the global lingerie company that it is today.

Every year, Triumph hosts the Triumph Inspiration Awards (TIA), and this year it's huge!
Aimed at design students worldwide, the competition is done in two stages; national and international. Winners of the national competition are entered into the international competition where they can win up to 15,000 Euros.
Each year, a theme is given for the entries; this year its "125 years of celebrating women".
A grand final victory is a huge career boost for the winner, and could take them just about anywhere in the industry!

You can win something yourself by visiting the Triumph website and voting for your favourite design from all the finalists. The link to do this can be found here.

1st prize is a trip for 2 to Berlin, and it includes travel, accommodation, sight seeing, as well as a trip to see the grand final of the TIA, to see all the final designs on the catwalk!
9 runners-up will also get a surprise lingerie set from the Triumph collection!
It doesn't take long to vote, and it's well worth it, considering the prizes that are on offer!

As an aside, Cheryl Cole wore last years (2010) Singapore designed competition entry in her video for "Promise This"

Anyway, it's well worth getting over there, if for no other reason than to look at the gorgeous designs thought up this year!
