The winners will be chosen in April 2022, with $200,000 going to the IWP winner, and $100,000 to the Karl Lagerfeld Award for innovation winner. The Woolmark Supply Chain Award will also be awarded, celebrating outstanding contribution from a trade partner driving wool supply chain innovation. Play on.
