Good-guy Nickelodeon

Starting this year, Nickelodeon will be awarding an animator with the best animation chosen from a contest with a $25,000 scholarship.  Anyone 17-24 can submit a short starting in april with the contest opens and be eligible for the scholarship.  By partnering with Get Schooled, founded by Melinda and Bill Gates, and working with Viacom, Nickelodeon is able to fund this project and their goal of bringing fresh animators into the business and expose their work to the public.  More information about the contest and the scholarship can be found at www.getschooled.com.
