Costume Designers need to demonstrate their production concept for the play (this may include plans, drawings, designs, plot sheets and mood boards) and the practical realisation of this.

Costumes must be designed for all characters in the production (a minimum of two). One costume must be made or altered in accordance with size, style and character requirements.

The candidate must produce detailed costume designs and a costume list for all characters. Costumes must be labelled, maintained and stored effectively in preparation for the performance. Each actor should be dressed in their costume and checks must be carried out before the performance.
