Nebraska 4-H is once again partnering with Omaha Fashion Week during their Spring Showcase. OFW Student Night will take place on Wednesday, February 23, 2022, and will exclusively feature high school designers, including a 4-H collection.

The 4-H collection will consist of 10-12 garments from across the state and be modeled by the 4-H member who made it. In order to create a complete and dynamic collection, interested 4-H members are invited to apply to participate in the show. The 4-H collection will be curated based upon the selection criteria as listed below.

Participants must be 4-H members.

Garments must have been exhibited at the County Fair or Nebraska State Fair in 2021.

Garments should be fashion-forward, runway appropriate, and display high-quality construction.

Complete the following application form: https://go.unl.edu/ofw2022

You will be notified by January 20th if you have been selected to participate.

Please pass this on to any 4-H members that you feel would be qualified to apply for this opportunity. For questions about Omaha Fashion Week or the application process, contact Marie Nelson or Jacie Milius. Looking forward to another dynamic show featuring the exceptional work of Nebraska 4-H designers!
