VFS students and grads – we want your art!

A little over a year ago, we ran a contest in search of high-quality, high-res renderings of student work, to be used in upcoming advertising campaigns and posters.

We know that the very best testament to VFS is the work you create as a student in your year here. When we say results matter… well, those are some of the results we’re talking about. We often feature student work in ads and posters – and of course we always credit the student who created it. Here are some recent examples:

We’re looking for more. Got some incredible art you created at VFS? Submit it and you’ll be entered into a drawing for the chance to win an incredible prize. You can see the work of our last winner, 3D Animation & Visual Effects grad Zheng Tang, right here.

The Prize

The first 16 Total Textures CDs, produced by 3D Total. The set is valued at around $1000. These discs will give CG artists and animators a huge leg up, giving you hundreds of textures ready to use instantly. Have fun with texture families like “Architectural Showroom”, “Alien Organic”, and “Toon Textures”.

How It Works

Submit your artwork – as many pieces as you like – following the specifications below. When the contest closes, we will randomly draw a winner from all qualified entrants. In particular, we are looking for high-res eye-grabbing shots from animation films and reels, as well as high-res stills from live-action films and art created by digital designers and game designers.

Whether you’re a current student or a recent grad, we’re looking for artwork created as part of your year at VFS.

Submission to the contest implicitly states that you give VFS permission to use your work in advertisements, posters, and other printed promotional material. Your name will be credited anywhere your art is used.
