This looks like a cool opportunity- thought I’d pass it along

The International Academy of Design & Technology (IADT) announces the IADT Design Challenge, a nationwide scholarship competition. Two winners and 10 runners-up each will earn scholarships to IADT. Submissions for the Challenge will be accepted from Nov. 10 through Dec. 10 via the college’s Facebook page. The direct link to the contest page is https://www.facebook.com/IADTschools?sk=app_291631127532472
IADT invites designers and aspiring designers to create and submit a banner ad representing one of the four following IADT programs: Internet Marketing, Information Technology, Retail Merchandise Management or Web Design and Development. Following approval of their submissions, entrants’ designs will be open for voting by the public through the year’s end. Public voting on Facebook will determine the 24 finalists, so entrants are encouraged to share their entries with friends via the social network. Users can vote once each day and do not have to be students to vote. Winners will be selected from among the finalists by a panel of IADT judges.
Anyone who has graduated or expects to graduate from high school (or has earned a GED or expects to earn a GED) prior to July 1, 2012, and is a legal resident of the United States is eligible to enter the competition, including both non-students and current IADT students (this opportunity is not available to residents of Puerto Rico, Texas, and where prohibited by law).
Each entry must include the IADT logo, a headline and call to action, along with the entrant’s creativity and unique design. Two first-place winners will be selected to each receive $5,000 scholarships to IADT, while 10 runners-up will be chosen to each receive $1,000 scholarships to the college.
