Mar9.AdoraContestAdora is on the search for its 2016 Young Designer to help design an outfit for an 18-inch Friends Doll to be available in next year’s Friends line. The Designed for Kids by Kids Program is in its third year and was created to empower young girls to get creative and design something they’re proud of.

This year’s theme is “Adora by the Shore,” where kids are asked to design a beach-themed outfit on the paper doll provided on the entry form. Kids can draw, color, paint, collage, and let their imaginations run wild while creating the design. The Adora Dolls Design Committee is accepting entry forms via email or regular mail.

The 2015 Young Designer, Isabella from Florida, drew a cowgirl design, including a cropped plaid top that ties, white knit shirt, and denim jeans with little white stars stitched along the top. Isabella also gave her financial donation from Adora to her local non-profit, Maitland Academy of the Performing Arts.

The deadline for submitting an entry is May 15. Click here to print out an entry form!
