[Charleston, August 9, 2008] – Do you love fashion and want to turn your love of the industry into a career? The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition gives high school students interested in the highly competitive fashion industry an opportunity to earn a full tuition scholarship to study in a fashion program at The Art Institute of Charleston.
Open to high school seniors throughout the U.S. and Canada, The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition was created to encourage and reward young fashion talent at the high school level.
Participation in the competition has risen each year since it began four years ago. Bonnie Grant, academic director of Interior Design and Fashion & Retail Management said, “There are so many wonderful fashion courses in high school today, and many students see a career in this industry within their reach. Our new program Fashion & Retail Management has created quite a buzz in the fashion and retail community here in Charleston. We are excited to open this contest to high school seniors and see all the great talent in our community”
The competition consists of two categories, Fashion Design, and Fashion Marketing & Merchandising and Retail Management. The grand prize in each category includes a full tuition scholarship to The Art Institutes school with a Fashion program at which the student entered the Competition. Currently, The Art Institute of Charleston offers Fashion & Retail Management.
In addition to a full tuition scholarship, the grand prize winning student in each category will receive an all-expense-paid trip to New York City for Fashion Week in February 2009, a “meet and greet” at Seventeen Magazine’s offices and lunch with a Seventeen Magazine Style Pro.
