Scholarship Opportunity: Get paid for your art! The contest winner will receive a generous scholarship to help fund their college education. Imagine how amazing it would feel to have your creativity recognized and rewarded in such a meaningful way!

Resume Booster: Adding a winning design from a competitive contest like this to your resume or college application can make you stand out from the crowd. It shows that you're not afraid to take on challenges and are proactive about shaping your future and saving money for college.

How to Get Started

Feeling inspired? Ready to unleash your inner artist? Here's how you can get started on creating your winning sticker design and how to apply for the scholarship:

Understand the Theme: Take some time to think about what it means to plan for the future. What messages or imagery resonate with you personally? Whether it's a quote, a symbol, or a visual metaphor, find something that captures the essence of conscious college planning.

Brainstorm Ideas: Grab a pen and paper (or your favorite digital drawing tool) and start brainstorming ideas for your sticker design. Use any medium that you like. Don't be afraid to think outside the box and explore different concepts.

Sketch It Out: Once you have some ideas brewing, start sketching out rough drafts of your design. Play around with different layouts, colors, and styles until you find something that feels just right. If you create a 2D design, you must take a bright, clear photo so it can be converted to a digital format. The design size should be approximately 2” - 3”.

Before you get started, please contact me so I can share the hex codes for my branding colors. (email listed below) While the design is completely up to your interpretation, Conscious College Planning’s branded colors should still be represented. You CAN use other colors in addition to the ones I share with you.

Refine and Finalize: Once you've settled on a design you're happy with, take the time to refine and finalize it. Pay attention to details like line thickness, color gradients, and font choices to ensure your design looks polished and professional.

Submit Your Entry: Finally, when your design is ready to go, submit it to Conscious College Planning by emailing the file to: Jackie@ConsciousCollegePlanning.com

Be sure to include your full name, what college you plan on attending, a brief explanation of the inspiration behind your design, and why you believe it would make a great sticker.
