The Art Institutes Poster Design Competition
Your Creative Future Hangs in the Balance.
From the intimate confines of your bedroom to the hustle and bustle of the streets, posters are everywhere. They can communicate so many things — imagination, innovation, an idea, or an ideal. When you create a poster, not only are you informing the world, you’re also crafting a piece of true art.
And by participating in The Art Institutes and Americans for the Arts Poster Design Competition, you just might earn a tuition scholarship to The Art Institutes location of your choice.
It all comes down to how you interpret the theme “Life Is Better with Art In It.” The medium and the message are up to you. What is important is that you get inspired – then inspire us with your original work.
This competition is open to high school students nearing graduation who plan to study graphic design. Qualifying students interested in other programs may also enter. Brochure (PDF)
