I should have posted this sooner, as time is starting to run short, but anyway...

The Sellersburg chapter of Ivy Tech State College is running it's 3rd annual Art Jam contest. This contest is based around the prize of giving the winners a scholarship for the Ivy Tech of Sellersburg, and as such is only applicable to high school students. Also the districts that may participate are limited to the areas that Ivy Tech of Sellersburg serves, because this is not a sponsored contest of all Ivy Tech institutions, but independantly run by this campus. The schools that may enter must be located in one of these areas...

· Bullitt County - KY
· Clark County - IN
· Crawford County - IN
· Floyd County - IN
· Harrison County - IN
· Jefferson County - KY
· Oldham County - KY
· Orange County - IN
· Scott County - IN
· Washington County - IN

You can find more details on the site under the "enter" page.

I realize that seeing as how this community is a world-wide giant so this is a bit of a longshot, considering you have to be in highschool too on top of the limited location but to any here that this may apply to, or that you could relay the information to, this is a decent opportunity showcase your skills, compete against other students, and of course win the scholarship to the school (6 credit hours are awarded).

The contest has naturally been dominated so far by fine art entries, but we have catagories for many others as well, such as photography, sculpting, design, and pretty much any digital submissions. The works however, must be completely original and solely done by the individual, and each submission (especially digital) is checked in many ways for authenticity.

Anyways, like I said it's a bit of a longshot, but we're looking for as much participation as possible and I figured it was worth giving you a heads up on it.

If you have any questions or need anything, feel free to post it on here, or email one of us, you can find any rules and contact information on the site. So if you're interested, just take a look over at ivytech.edu/artjam Thanks

we have high school students in northern indiana. i'm sure there are some in southern indiana. i have my doubts about any in kentucky, though. that's a foreign country across the river.

We believe if we can get enough participation the other campuses will start to adopt this as well which would widen the area considerably, completely covering all parts of indiana, and some surrounding areas.
