$18,000 Scholarship and internship offered to aspiring art directors

Rethink Communications of Vancouver and Langara College now offer one, aspiring art director or designer a two-year, fully-paid scholarship worth $18,000 to the new Communication and Ideation Design program. The person selected also gets a 3-month internship at Rethink. Application is by using a sketchbook to convey ideas, although they may include sculpture, photos and interactive elements. All will be assessed by co-creative directors of Rethink, Chris Staples and Ian Grais. Books must be submitted by May 8 and remain the property of Rethink.

"We're not looking for polished, completed work - that's what the program is designed to help them with - we're looking for great thinking, creativity, and passion and encourage students to use the book however they see fit," said Grais.

Naturally, Rethink is hoping to find someone who will bring sparks to the advertising industry, but there's no reason someone interested in publication design can't qualify and excel.
