VCUQ recently announced the launch of the Fifth Annual Design Competition in Kuwait.
High school students across the Middle East have been challenged to come up with the most imaginative idea for improving our living environment. This year's competition, "If it was up to me", gives students the opportunity to share their visions of what an ideal future would be like while considering ways to improve our living environment.
Two entrants will win full four-year Sheikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned Scholarships for Creativity at VCUQ and the top three high school students from each of the twelve countries will receive cash prizes of $1400 for first place, $800 for second place and $600 for third place.
Moamer Qazafi, VCUQ Director of Marketing who was in Kuwait noted, "Design Competition provides all high school seniors a chance at an internationally accredited education. The three country winners can obtain cash to use toward paying for books, or tuition and the scholarship winners get full scholarship at one of the best design universities located in Qatar. I hope every high school senior takes the time to participate in this contest for a once in a lifetime opportunity at a great education at VCUQ."
VCUQ's 5th Annual Design Competition is sponsored by Sasol Chevron. Sasol Chevron is part of the world-leading alliance of companies developing new high performance, low emission gas to liquids diesel for the global transport fuels market. It is an exciting high tech industry in which Qatar is the world leader following the inauguration of the ORYX GTL plant in July of this year.
