For high school seniors interested in pursuing a creative education, The Art Institute of New York City is sponsoring the Poster Design Competition, a program which awards up to a full-tuition scholarship to study at a participating Art Institutes school.
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., Canada, and Puerto Rico. Contestants 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 5, 2010. Full entry requirements can be downloaded at http://www.artinstitutes.edu/
According to Dr. David Warren, President of The Art Institute of New York City, “It is The Art Institutes’ honor to be able to sponsor the National Poster Design Competition for talented high school seniors. The competition enables teens to demonstrate their creative perspectives and presents an opportunity to pursue an education in a field they are passionate about.”
Robert Lynch, President and CEO of Americans for the Arts, said that “Each year since Americans for the Arts has been working with The Arts Institutes, we have been amazed at the skill level of high school students who enter the competition. The students’ ability to channel their creativity and love of the visual arts reflects the importance that art plays in the lives of everyone.”
