Appreciating the hard work and creativity of the participants Director General, FDCI Rathi Vinay Jha said, "A lot of effort has been put by these students and this has made me proud of them and I have also noticed that these students are very mature and creative. They have opened their mind to create art. We are not able to judge who is the best, but whosoever would be selected, would be selected purely depending on their art."

New Zealand’s Trade Minister Phil Goff said that the event made him very happy, as it was beneficial platform for India and New Zealand to come and work together. This would not only give business to India and New Zealand but will also take them to a new creative level. New Zealand High Commissioner Graeme Waters said, "All over the world, New Zealanders are known for innovation. The concept of World of Wearable Art is to allow participants from all over the world to take creativity to a completely different and exciting level."

WOW awards are the best platform to launch them in the field of designing. "New Zealanders are crazy about Indian designs, festivals, customs and traditions." Graeme Waters added.
