Hi Naomi,
My college adress is j.connolly@burnley.ac.uk. I look forward to seeing your proposal as it will make the project much more interesting if it can be seen to produce a more professional finished outcome.... however this is further education and there is no budget available so anything produced would have to be at the students cost..... but maybe if you could give me some idea of the costs involved I could try to persuade the management to invest !
Sorry if this sounds negative, but any funding is tightly guarded and we mostly work with 'gifted' fabrics and accessories, so a competition, (like we recently ran with George,) would be at thier expense. That being said, we could still provide artwork and samples for you to select a winner, and the prize could be very small, even a letter / certificate is of value to my students in thier quest to become fashion professionals.
I understand if this is not what you had in mind and I will not take it personnally if you wish to recind your offer.

Kind regards,

Jackie
