For high school seniors with an interest in turning their love of art into a career, The Art Institutes is sponsoring a Poster Design Competition, a program which awards tuition scholarships of up to $25,000 to study graphic design at a participating Art Institutes location. Approximately $100,000 in tuition scholarships to The Art Institutes schools will be awarded.
In partnership with the not-for-profit organization Americans for the Arts, The Art Institutes annual poster design competition is an opportunity for talented young artists at the high school level to study graphic design and earn a degree in the creative arts.
The Competition is open to high school seniors in the U.S. and Canada. Students will be asked to create original poster artwork that expresses the slogan, “Life is Better With Art In It.”
Deadline for entries into the Competition is February 6, 2009. Full entry requirements can be viewed at www.artinstitutes.edu/poster.
According to John Mazzoni, President of The Art Institutes, “For many high school students who love to draw and think creatively, the National Poster Design Competition is an opportunity to have an education in a field that they are passionate and excited about.” Now in its sixth year, the Competition is a way to encourage and reward exceptional young artistic talent and nurture it in a formal, academic setting he adds.
Robert Lynch, CEO of Americans for the Arts says that “each year since we’ve been involved with this Competition, we are amazed at the skill level of high school students who compete and their ability to use their imagination and love of drawing to illustrate a theme that is also our mission.”
