Would you like to see your artwork featured by the leading publisher of premium quality cards in the United States? Here’s your chance! Design a custom greeting card for an opportunity to win a $10,000 scholarship! Plus, your winning entry will be made into a bona fide greeting card by The Gallery Collection! Submission Deadline: March 2, 2023.
Eligibility
All students at least 14 years of age are welcome to participate in this scholarship competition. The contest is open to all homeschooled, high school, college and university students enrolled during the time period of the contest in an academic program designed to conclude with the awarding of a diploma or a degree.
Details
Create an original front cover of a greeting card using your own photo, artwork, or computer graphic design. Original art can be submitted online by taking a digital photograph or scanning it as a JPEG (.jpg). Maximum file size is limited to 2 megabytes.
Designs can be vertical or horizontal. All cards are 5 1/2″ x 7 7/8″ in The Gallery Collection. While the design itself would need to fit within those dimensions, it is not necessary for you to submit in this exact size.
Wording such as “Season’s Greetings” or “Happy Birthday” can be incorporated into the design, but is not necessary. The Gallery Collection is not looking for a sentiment for the inside greeting of a card, just the art to appear on the outside front of the card.
The use of rubber stamps, images from the internet, or quotations is not allowed – everything in your design must be your own original work. Items such as sequins, fabric or other 3-dimensional embellishments would also not be suitable.
