The first live skillVM tour has been a fantastic journey, showcasing twenty window displays created by forty students and professional visual merchandisers. The standard and variety has been tremendous and our Chief Executive, Anne Seaman, was delighted with the quality of entrants, commenting; “The sheer amount of talent we have seen in all four nations has been truly remarkable.”
We would like to thank everyone who has been involved, from competitors and their supporters to our sponsors, host shopping centres and guest judges. Your passion, dedication and support has been outstanding and made this year’s competition such a success.
