This marks the second consecutive year that lululemon has hosted this competition. The 2010 finalists are Corey Apploff; SoHee Bae; Amy Bittner; Eri Fuchigami; Keun Kwon; Rachel Marcus; Amelia Tkach; and Qing Zhu.

Immediately following the runway show, model and TV host Veronica Webb will announce the competition’s winner, who will receive a $2,500 cash prize, plus a three-day trip to lululemon’s Vancouver headquarters to work with its designers and production team. The winning design will also be sold at lululemon stores.
