Those With an Eye for Photography Challenged to Compete for Tuition Scholarships
PITTSBURGH, Feb. 9, 2012 -- If you see the world in photographs, then The Art Institutes schools challenge you to put your skills to the test in the third annual Storytellers Photography Scholarship Competition. Submit six original photographs that tell a visual story for your opportunity to earn up to a $40,000 tuition scholarship to study at one of 39 participating Art Institutes schools.
The Storytellers Photography Competition has categories for both high school seniors and high school graduates. Along with the photos, entrants are required to submit a 500-800 word artist statement describing the entry and a high school transcript or proof of high school graduation demonstrating a GPA of 2.0 or higher. Entries will be judged on their ability to communicate a story based on the theme Storytelling Through the Lens.
The grand prize winner in the high school senior category earns up to a $40,000 tuition scholarship and the grand prize winner in the high school graduate category earns up to a $10,000 tuition scholarship to one of 39 participating Art Institutes across the U.S. Submissions are initially judged at the local level, with one finalist from each participating school advancing to the national level.
"The Storytellers Photography Scholarship Competition provides students with the opportunity to tell their stories in a way that showcases their passion, vision and creativity," said John Pufahl, Vice President of Academic Affairs for The Art Institutes. "We are continually impressed with the caliber of the entries received, and we look forward to helping these students cultivate their talents."
