Huge shout out to Vans for having this competition now in place for 2yrs in a row. It allows highschool art classes to customize a all white pair of vans in hopes for the grandprize winner to walk off with a $50,000 scholarship towards art school program. Vans was able to knock it down to 50 selections (10 schools per region), and the polls are now open to vote on your favorite piece. The Top 5 finalists will be flown to NYC this June to compete in a final round, judged by industry experts Tony Alva, Mr. Cartoon, and more.
