Vote for Your Favorite Finalist Entry in the
"Frame My Future" Scholarship Contest 2012
Your Vote Will Help a Student Win Money for College!
April 16, 2012 — Monroe, CT - Church Hill Classics (CHC), a leading manufacturer and online retailer in the college diploma frame industry, has announced the 24 Finalists in their "Frame My Future" Scholarship Contest 2012.
The nation-wide "Frame My Future" Scholarship Contest 2012 asked students to submit an original "creation" expressing what they hope to achieve in their personal and professional life after college. The entry needed to communicate: This is how I "Frame My Future." Submissions were accepted from October 18, 2011, through March 6, 2012. Over 10,500 entries were received, including photographs, poems, essays, collages, artwork, graphic design, and other imaginative pieces.
The unbelievable amount of individual, creative, and quality entries made the selection process very difficult. The 24 Finalists represent only .23% of the total entries. After a panel of judges at Church Hill Classics narrowed down entries, all employees participated in a company-wide voting process which yielded 24 Finalists and 36 Honorable Mentions.
The 24 Finalist entries are posted on the company's diplomaframe.com website. The final phase of the contest involves the public voting on their favorite entry to determine the scholarship winners. Voting runs from April 4 - May 3, 2012 (11:59pm Eastern Time). A $1,000 award will go to each of the five top-voted entries, and the entry receiving the most votes will also earn a matching donation of $1,000 to their college or university's scholarship endowment fund in their name.
