For the third year in a row, we're teaming up with Langara College to offer an $18,000 scholarship to aspiring art directors and designers. The lucky winner will receive full tuition for Langara College’s two-year Communication and Ideation (CID) program and an internship at Rethink.

In the first two years, the call-for-entries video doubled as an inspirational resource for anyone in a creative field. And with over 800,000 views and tweets from social media heavy hitters like Ashton Kutcher, we knew this year’s video had big shoes to fill. So for 2011 we matched creative tips with classic typographic design to inspire applicants and professionals alike. Produced in-house at Rethink with blood, sweat and a modest budget, the video shows we all have the tools to be creative—you just have to look around.

Aspiring creatives are invited to submit a black hardcover sketchbook that showcases their creativity. The winner will be selected by our creative directors along with Langara College faculty according to the following criteria: clarity, relevance, fresh thinking, and the quality of the ideas, craft, and execution. Books must be submitted by July 1, 2011.
