Vans is bringing schools across the nation together as public
voting opens at vans.com/customculture for the top 50 high schools
competing in the Vans Custom Culture contest. Now in its fourth
year, Vans Custom Culture is a nationwide art call to action, with
students competing for a chance to win $50,000 for their school's
art programs.
Beginning April 22nd through May 13th, 2013, students, teachers,
parents and friends alike, nationwide, can visit
vans.com/customculture to vote for their favorite school's designs.
The top five schools will be invited to New York City to showcase
their designs for the crowd and celebrity judges at a special event
in June 2013 at the Whitney Museum of American Art, where the grand
prize-winner will be announced.
Earlier this year, more than 1,400 schools across the country
registered for Vans Custom Culture, with each school customizing
four classic Vans styles. From there, an internal Vans team
narrowed down the selection to the top 50 schools which are listed
below.
Vans Custom Culture inspires creativity among students through
art and design while at the same time aiming to shed light on
diminishing budgets for art in education. Since its inception in
2010, Vans Custom Culture has reached tens of thousands of students
and has awarded more than $175,000 to support high school art
programs.
