Student Art and Design Competition: Call for Student Proposals
Background: For the Otis College Centennial (launching September 2018), student artists and designers (individually or in teams) are invited to submit proposals for an original concept to be printed and displayed on a highly trafficked 100" x 100" wall space on the second floor of Ahmanson Hall. The winning student artist, designer, or team will receive a $500 award for the design. Otis College will pay for printing and installation of the winning design.
Theme for the 100x100: Creativity and commitment can change the world. Design a 100"x100" poster that reflects the idea of 100% commitment, that every creative person can believe in. Focus on the drive, the passion, and adventure that we all have inside of us. That voice telling you that you have something to say. That tenacity that keeps you in the studio until 4am. Use the space of this public poster to inspire others to commit and dedicate themselves to their creative cause.
Eligibility Requirements: This opportunity is open to all Otis College students working in all disciplines. TWO proposals will be accepted per student and/or student teams. There is no fee to enter the competition. APPLY NOW
