JUNEAU, Alaska—
A Juneau high school wants your online vote in the Vans custom culture shoe design contest for a $50,000 grand prize.The online voting ends on May 3 at midnight, Eastern Time.
An art class at the Thunder Mountain High School customized several of the shoe company’s sneaker models based on the following themes: Action Sports, Music, Art, and Local Flavor.
The Juneau school was chosen among 50 schools as semi- finalists and has a shot to make the top 5.
Finalists will travel to Los Angeles for an exclusive event that will determine the winner and each runner-up will receive $4,000 prizes.
Vans started the contest three years ago, to inspire high school students to embrace their creativity in an effort to showcase the importance of art as schools face shrinking budgets.
