According to the YDA

"Award winners will receive mentoring and

support accessing resources, such as, public relations,

marketing, advice and general business support,

as they choose their next step into the fashion industry,

launch and build their new fashion companies.

They will be given an opportunity to participate on a year long UK tour and showcase, which is a new exposure and awareness initiative, launched in line with our vision."
