Adobe Creativity Scholarships

For the Grade 12s .....

I have broken down this application process into easily manageable steps.

Step 1: This weekend, put together a series of photos (a 'photo essay' of +/- 10 photos) on yourself (not your work!). Think carefully about the subject matter and composition of these photos. Share these with me for discussion.

See posts to follow about the next steps.

The Adobe Creativity Scholarships program is open to AYV alumni and past finalists of the AYV/Adobe Aspire Awards who will be entering their first or second year of college/university during the 2016-17 academic year.
