$10,000 Scholarship for Art Students: Winner Selected By American Idol Type Contest
The Art Institute Online is offering a $10,000 scholarship to learn Graphic Design, Interior Design, Game Art & Design, Web Design and more. You can choose from 13 creative arts online programs to find one that inspires you. That's nice, but there are a lot of scholarships available from virtually every school and for many types of students. What makes this one special? In addition to it being open to everyone who is willing to submit an image that demonstrates their creativity and a brief description of how they would live their creative passion, any visitor to the Art Institute Online web site will be able to vote on the submissions. The entries receiving the most votes will be judged by a panel of art experts and the winner will receive the scholarship.
This is a neat twist to the American Idol type popularity contests that seem to be in such vogue these days. Rather than the expert judges narrowing the field and the masses selecting the winner, instead this scholarship will see the masses narrowing the field and the expert judges selecting the winner. This should help to prevent an unbelievably poorly qualified yet likeable candidate from posing any danger of winning.
If your artistic talents exceed those of mine, and that is pretty much a certainty as no one has ever accused me of having any such talent, then submit your entry by May 14th at http://scholarship.aionline.edu.
