Full Scholarship Challenge, by SoundCloud and Vancouver Film School

November 1, 2011 by Miguel Isaza

SoundCloud and Vancouver Film School announced a new sound design challenge. The prize is a full scholarship to the Sound Design for Visual Media program at VFS.

  1. Pushing your creativity and imagination to the limits while using any sounds or techniques you like, create an original audio track that communicates your interpretation of the following:
    • The colour red
    • The birth of an idea
    • An imaginary animal being born
    • Falling in love
    • A post-apocalyptic landscape
  2. You can submit a maximum of three entries, but only one entry per category. Entries should be a maximum of 90 seconds in length.
  3. For each entry that you submit you’ll need to include in the text field a description of who you are, what you’ve created, how you created it, why you’re passionate about sound, and why you’re sure Sound Design for Visual media is the career for you.

The winning entry will be chosen by the SoundCloud community from a shortlist of finalists.

Deadline is Nov 13. Details at VFS

    Hello,

    I just wanted to point out that we accept people of all ages. We even have students who are in their late 30’s or early 40’s. Talent, creativity, and determination are common traits of successful students at VFS, not age. :)

    We would definitely encourage you to enter our Scholarship Challenge if you’re interested in sound design.

    Good luck!

    I read on the link above that the first prize will only last for one year – year 2012 while the scholarship is about one year too. So that means the winner has to start his scholarship with the beginning of January – isn’t it? Otherwise you won’t finish the course… so that means probably that i can’t participate or can you start the scholarship starting summer?
