2 2015 SAVE A SAMPLE! STUDENT HAND-DRAWING COMPETITION APPLICATION SpecSimple.com s Save A Sample! - an annual industry recycling event supported by local chapters of the AIA, ASID, IIDA, SMPS and USGBC- creates a second life for unused brochures, fabrics and finish cards from architecture and design firms throughout the country. Each year, several tons of materials are donated by busy design firms. The materials are delivered to design schools, with the help of local furniture dealers. As a result, talented students have a much richer set of resources to choose from during the year. SpecSimple.com s Save A Sample! is pleased to announce the Student Hand-Drawing Competition. Hand-drawing emphasizes a slow, deliberative process of observance, thought, evaluation, and creation that - when fused with an unprecedented level of skill elevates simple drawing into art. Save A Sample! looks to celebrate this art form and encourages exceptional examples of student hand drawings with our annual Student Hand-Drawing Competition. Save A Sample! will offer one Grand Prize scholarship of $1,000, as well as first prize City scholarships of $250 per event location. One prize will be awarded per event location. The school attended by our Grand Prize winner will also receive $750. In order for students to be eligible for a Save A Sample! Scholarship, they must be currently enrolled as a design student at a participating Save A Sample! School. Each school can submit a maximum of two entries. Please see the 2015 Save A Sample! Student Hand-Drawing Competition application for submission requirements and entry deadlines. Any questions, please contact our Save A Sample! Coordinator, Inge Gordon saveasample@specsimple.com phone: x11
