2011-12 Photo Finalists

About this challenge

This year, the SCAD Challenge photography competition called for entries demonstrating technical prowess, a unique viewpoint and aesthetic awareness. The competition received 400 entries from more than 20 countries and 30 states. From these entries, the SCAD Challenge mentors chose 75 photographs that excelled in every area.

A panel of faculty judges examined the work of the 75 finalists and chose the three photographers who showed the greatest potential for success as both SCAD students and creative professionals. These winners will be awarded scholarships to attend SCAD.
