Four winners in the annual Bradford Textile Society design competition are Bradford College students.

First year student Amanda Shelton has clinched a £250 first prize for her design in the Clothworkers Foundation knitted fabric in any fibre or blend category.

Kate Whitehead and Hannah Fairburn were commended in the Clothworkers Foundation categories while Natalie Meegan was commended in the Worshipful Company of Dyers award for printed fabric.

The awards attracted a record 930 entries with students from 38 UK universities and colleges competing in 15 categories.

For the first time, an exhibition of the winning entries is being held at Salts Mill, Saltaire, from today until Sunday. Prizewinners will be recognised at an awards ceremony and seminar on Tuesday, April 30, featuring Tony Glenville, creative director at the London College of Fashion.
