The brief
One tee. Your powers.
A2A3 makes clothes for people who keep going. Made to order, never fast fashion. Lagos runs on that same energy. Show us the powers of Lagos, or your own. Your story, your city, your way. Give us more than a flag or a skyline.
What we're looking for
An idea first. Wearable streetwear you'd get stopped in. Your own voice: type, illustration, photo, collage, abstract. Use the A2A3 tones or bring your own.

- One T-shirt, front and/or back
- An A2A3 or POWERS logo from the pack, placed your way
- 100% your own work; tell us if you used AI anywhere

Questions
Do I have to live in Lagos?
No. Designers aged 18+ based anywhere in Nigeria can enter. Lagos is the inspiration, not a requirement.
What exactly do I submit?
One PDF with your flat artwork and a tee mock-up, shared as a Google Drive or Dropbox link that opens without requesting access. Plus up to 100 words on your idea.
Do I have to use your mock-ups?
No. They're a starting point. Use your own mock-up, change the tee colour or shoot it on a person if that shows the idea better.
Who owns my design?
You do. Entering transfers nothing. The winner licenses their design to A2A3 for the release. Any other use is agreed and paid (minimum ₦100,000) first.
Can I use AI?
The idea and the design must be yours. If you used AI anywhere, tell us how on the form.
How are winners chosen?
The A2A3 team scores every entry on originality (35%), brand fit (30%), wearability (25%) and production (10%). Sharing never affects your score.
