Disney will recruit six students from the Los Angeles design school to participate in a competition to create a collection inspired by the film Frozen. The competitors will have to re-interpret the characters’ images and style.

The design competition will air on YouTube and with blogger Candy Washington as its host. Throughout the series’ run, the students will have to create looks for the main Frozen characters Elsa, Anna, and Olaf, following pre-determined themes such as “Downtown Chic,” “Beach Boho,” and “Hollywood Glam.”
 
Of the six students, three winners will be chosen. Those three will receive a one-year scholarship and will see their designs produced and sold by clothing brand Nineteenth Amendment. The New York-based company was founded by Amanda Curtis and Gemma Sole and promises a transparent shopping experience, with all of its garments created in the US.

The four-episode series will premiere on Disney Style’s YouTube channel on June 16. Rumors have swirled of a sequel to the popular movie on which the series is based, but the YouTube series currently has no official tie-in to a second Frozen movie. The animated film was released in 2013 to immediate acclaim, though Disney has released no plans for a Frozen 2
