Young designers from around the world will descend on the capital for the Junk Kouture World Festival in Dublin next month.
60 international design teams will make their way to the Helix in DCU for the 16th edition of the competition.
The event, running from February 23rd to 25th, will see hopeful teams from Ireland, the UK, France, Italy, the USA, and the UAE present their designs made from recycled materials in the hopes of taking home the World Designer of the Year title.
The competition is open to 12-19 year olds, with a focus on promoting sustainability, showcasing Ireland’s pivotal role in promoting youth creativity and circular innovation.
Eurospar returns as headline sponsor for the Irish competition in 2026, including supporting the Irish team at the upcoming World Final on Tuesday 24th February.
CEO of Junk Kouture Troy Armour says: “It’s fantastic to have such a well-known and trusted brand like Eurospar back on board for a fourth year at Junk Kouture.
"We are delighted to have the support of Eurospar Supermarkets and their 53 locally owned retailers in Ireland to help deliver our message of sustainability from schools to stores.”
