Description

CardsDirect wants your help designing their next top-selling holiday card, and they are proud to offer their scholarship program. The winner of the Future Designer Scholarship will receive a scholarship to a secondary institution of their choice and will have their design featured as products on our site. This scholarship is open to U.S. residents who are either a student enrolled in a post-secondary education institution (this includes junior colleges and vocational schools) or one that has been formally accepted into such a post-secondary educational institution and will begin school within the next calendar year. Applicants will need to submit their first and last name, date of birth, phone number, name of institution enrolled at or accepted to, and official artwork. The original artwork, photographs, or computer graphics can be submitted online as a JPEG (.jpg), via email. Artwork is open to any 2-dimensional medium, including oil, acrylic, pastel, watercolor, pencil, mixed media, digital illustration and more. The original artwork can be sent by taking a digital photograph or by scanning the image. The artwork must be at least 300 dpi and a maximum file size of 5 MB. The top 5 finalists will be notified that their designs are eligible for voting. The top design from the voting round will be evaluated and confirmed by CardsDirect.
