Textile Art Piece (TAP) Challenge 2021
TEXTILE ART PIECE (TAP) CHALLENGE 2021
The 2021 TEA Textile Art Piece (TAP) Challenge sponsored by S&S will again offer two design briefs.
This will allow teachers of Technology Mandatory the opportunity to incorporate this highly successful Stage 5 design project into their Stage 4 programs.
Due to the impact of Covid restrictions, lockdowns and learning from home TEA has decided to extend the submission date of TAP Challenge entries until the end of the year. We hope that this extension may provide an opportunity for you to consider submitting some student work for this year’s competition.
Entries to be received by Friday 10th December 2021 (Term 4, Week 10)
The theme for 2021 is –
General guidelines –
- may be a hanging art quilt, decorative mat, a sculpture, an ornament, a cushion cover, etc.

The TAP Challenge is based on the Textile Art Piece only.
