BYU Students Win Society of Illustrators Student Competition!

The Society of Illustrators just announced their winners for this year's Student Scholarship competition. If you don't know what the SOI is just think of it as a the Screen Actors Guild for Illustrators. The Student Scholarship Competition is a way for the SOI to recognize up and coming talent.

This year we got two students in! The winners are:

Elisabeth Pulido: A Lack of Practice

Tyler Carter: Crisium

BYU did really well, especially since the competition this year was very steep. Although other schools had several pieces accepted, BYU has one of the highest ratios of winning entries to number of students in the program. We held our own against schools with 3,000+ art students.

You can check out all of the winners here.

Congrats to Liz and Tyler and thanks to everyone who entered!
