I want to share quick updates on two great contests for high school students sponsored by the Savannah College of Art and Design.

• The Utrecht 6^th Annual Self-Portrait Contest deadline is December 4.  The fabulous prizes are a scholarship to SCAD Summer Seminars (grades 9-11) or a gift card and package (for seniors)!  Please see this website for details:  http://www.utrechtart.com/contest/scad_contest_09.cfm

• Also, SCAD has extended the deadline for the Georgia High School Drawing Competition and the Georgia High School Writing Competition to November 9th at 5:00 p.m.  Find out all the details and submit your students’ work online at this link:  http://www.scad.edu/admission/pre-college/drawing-writing-competitions.cfm
