The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition gives high school students a leg up in the highly competitive fashion industry by offering students interested in Fashion Design or Fashion Marketing, Merchandising or Retail Management an opportunity to win a full tuition scholarship to study at one of The Art Institutes.

Open to high school seniors across North America, The Art Institutes Passion for Fashion Competition was created to encourage and reward young fashion design and fashion marketing, merchandising and retail management talent at the high school level.

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.

In addition to a full tuition scholarship, each grand prize winning student receives a VIP trip to New York City for Fashion Week in February 2009 and a “meet and greet” at Seventeen magazine’s New York City offices and lunch with a Seventeen Magazine Style Pro.

Deadline for entries into the competition is November 21, 2008.
