A Minnesota student goes onto National Scholarship Competition

Thirty-one high school students from across North America interested in a graphic design career have placed first in local competitions in the Poster Design Scholarship Competition, sponsored by The Art Institutes and Americans for the Arts. Students created original poster artwork that expresses the slogan Life is Better with Art in It and wrote designer statements explaining their poster concept and why they want to enter the graphic design field.

The final stage of the contest, which begins in April, is a virtual competition with a panel of industry professionals determining the winners of the tuition scholarships. More than $200,000 in scholarships will be awarded, with the first place prize-winning student receiving a $25,000 scholarship to study design at one of 34 Art Institutes locations throughout North America.
Brooklyn Park resident and Osseo Senior High School senior, Nicollazzi Xiong, will be representing The Art Institutes International Minnesota at the national competition. This is the first time a Minnesota resident will be participating in the national level of the Americans for the Arts and The Art Institutes Poster Design Competition.
