The Center for Cartoon Studies in White River Junction has donated a full scholarship to theTown of Hartford Parks and Recreation Department so a Hartford teen can attend their one week workshop, "Make Comics," this summer. This full scholarship, worth $850, includes the workshop, supplies, light breakfast, full lunch and evening student activities. Any Hartford student age 16 or older (must be 16 years old by June 1, 2011) is eligible. The workshop will take place in White River Junction, VT July 18-22, 2011.
Hartford residents interested in the scholarship should apply through the Recreation Department. The only entry requirements are: (1) that the student is at least 16 years old, and (2) the applicant has the ability to attend the entire workshop in July. The contest will be conducted through the Hartford Parks and Recreation Department and applications are due by May 31, 2011. Hartford Recreation Department will hold a drawing and will let the winning student's librarian know the results.
Last year Michael Edney from Burlington High School won the scholarship and attended the workshop. An enthusiastic and talented cartoonist, he is quoted on CCS’s website: “Create Comics is fantastic! I highly recommend it for anyone aspiring to become a cartoonist.”
