Chapter 1406 Judge Of Aploth Youth Design Competition
“Ah, you’re shy. Fine, I’ll stop teasing you.” Lina giggled before her voice grew solemn. “Nat, are you going to be the judge of the Aploth Youth Design Competition?”
“Yes. How did you know?” Natalie asked curiously. Lina told her, “I saw your name on the list.”
“List?” Natalie repeated dumbly. Comprehension dawned, and she blurted out in surprise, “You can see the list of the judges? Does that mean you’ve been invited, too?”
“Yes. I think they are following international rules. For the second half of the competition, the costume designer will collaborate with the jewelry designer. As the most popular young jewelry designer nowadays, it is only natural that I got selected to be the judge for the competition,” Lina explained.
Natalie nodded. “Oh, I see. That’s great. We’ll get to see each other then.”
“Yes. But I’m not only calling to let you know that I’ve been invited to be a judge,” Lina said as she took a sip of her coffee.
Natalie blinked. “Why did you call me, then?”
“Don’t you know? The judges will be rewarded after the competition ends. However, not everyone will be rewarded. The judges will form teams of two and compete for the reward. To simplify things, it means that the judges will have an internal competition, too,” Lina revealed with a frown. Clearly, she wasn’t in favor of the competition.
This was initially meant to be a competition for ordinary designers, but the judges had to compete against each other. No one expected that to happen.
Natalie shared her sentiments, too. Pursing her lips, she asked, “What reward are they giving? If the reward isn’t interesting enough, the judges will definitely refuse to join the competition.”
There were a total of twelve judges. Including the judges for the jewelry design competition, there would be a total of twenty-four judges altogether.
Thus, there would be twelve groups competing against each other. It wasn’t a small-scale competition anymore.
The judges were famous and influential designers from all over Aploth.
Thus, the reward must be interesting and handsome enough for those designers to have the urge to compete against each other. Otherwise, they might refuse to join the competition.
“You’re right. That was what I thought, too. So, I asked around to find out what the reward is. It is definitely tempting.” Lina’s eyes lit up. “If what I learn is true, I think I might join the competition.”
“Oh?” Natalie arched a brow. “Looks like the reward is indeed tempting. What is it?”
“Do you know the biggest event of the year that is going to be held soon?” Instead of revealing the reward straight away, Lina kept her in suspense.
Natalie squinted her eyes and pondered over the matter. “The biggest event that is going to be held soon…”
A few seconds later, a date emerged in her mind. Gripping her phone, she replied, “The World Games.”
“Bingo! You’re right.” Lina clapped her hands.
Natalie blinked slowly. “Are you saying that the reward has something to do with the World Games?”
“Yes. The World Games is held once every four years, and it is coincidentally going to be held this year. The opening ceremony is two months away. Every country will send its representatives to attend the opening ceremony, so our reward is to design the government officials’ outfits and jewelry!” Lina’s voice grew increasingly excited. “Nat, isn’t this exciting?”
Natalie’s eyes lit up and she nodded vehemently. “Yes, it’s exciting. I can’t believe the reward is this tempting. Besides, it’s pretty surprising to learn that the organizer of the Aploth Youth Design Competition managed to get the chance for us to design the outfits for the various government officials from all around the world!”
