Spoonflower and Robert Kaufman Fabrics are thrilled to announce that the Fabric8 Contest theme for 2013 will be Geek Chic. Fabric8 is an annual contest to discover eight bold, modern fabric collections from designers the world has yet to hear from. The ultimate winner of each year's contest gets a chance to start a new career as a professional textile designer by releasing a collection through Robert Kaufman.
