School Funding: Deadline Reel

You can never have too many resources for paying for school. Here's a brief of some interesting funding sources with fast approaching deadlines.

Ayn Rand's Anthem Contest

For those in Grades 8 to 10, this contest is for you. After reading the specified documents, you are to select one of the three provided discussion topics on which to write. Look over the discussion topics in advance because most require a secondary reading source to be read in order for the discussion to be answered completely.

Deadline for the Anthem discussion is March 29. For those in Grades 11 and up (this includes college level), there are contest opportunities for you as well and those deadlines fall in the latter part of April; the 26th and 28th to be exact. Visit the Ayn Rand Institute for more details on their contests along with teaching resources to encourage students to learn more about the author's literary achievements.

Duck Tape Brand's Promposal Contest

This is a new one for me but its just as intriguing as the design contest. With this one, you have to create an eye catching promposal with Duck tape brand products. Its pretty much the calm before the glamour.

You're only limited by your imagination and amount of Duck tape you have on hand. You are tasked with creating a unique and attention grabbing proposal for a prom date. I'm pretty sure its okay to go the corny route with this one.

Deadline for this breath holding contest is April 5th.

Beans for Brains Scholarship Contest

Hosted by Jimmy Beans Wool, this scholarship contest is usually hosted between the months of April and May. The objective for the contest is to create something either by knitting, crocheting, weaving or sewing. If I'm remembering correctly, you have to photograph the process and showcase the finished product with yourself in the picture holding said piece.

Contest information is usually released on or around April 1st.

Look Ahead

Apologies for the Jimmy Beans Wool contest in advance. Their contest are almost hosted every year near this time. Duck tape brand may seem daunting especially when you can't think straight.

There are a variety of Duck tape brand products which include the standard rolls, mini rolls and sheets. Remember to have fun and go a little crazy within tolerable means. On that note, I have an honorable mention: L. Ron Hubbard's Writing/Illustration Contests.

The L. Ron Hubbard Contests are hosted throughout the year on a quarterly basis. The contests are for both writers and illustrators who have a passion for creating works within the realms of sci-fi and fantasy. March 31st [end of Quarter 2] is the deadline for both contests which are called Writers and Illustrators of the Future respectively.
