The results of The Art Institute Online's recent
scholarship contest are in. The contest, which was judged by Midway Games and Rapid Reality
Studios, chose two winners in the "Live Your Creative Passion" scholarship
competition. The competition kicked off April 18, 2007, and was designed to
encourage individuals to become excited about reaching their full creative
potential through art. During the first round of judging, the public at large had an opportunity to
vote online for their favorite entries. More than 50,000 people visited the
scholarship website and voted for their favorite entries. The entries that
received the top 10% of votes from the public were reviewed by a panel of
distinguished judges, including game industry veterans Richard Rouse of
Midway Games and Tracy Spaight and DJ Cassell of Rapid Reality Studios, who
selected the scholarship recipients.
Two scholarships, each in the amount of ten thousand dollars, were awarded
to Orsolya Windhoffer, of Rockville, Maryland and Katherine Anderson, of
Roscoe, Illinois. Windhoffer is currently enrolled at The Art Institute
while Anderson is a prospective student.
