    Digital Art Contest

    The George Rodrigue Foundation of the Arts, in partnership with the Louisiana Technology Council (LTC) and the Louisiana Digital Gaming Initiative (LDGI), will provide $15,000 in college scholarships to five (5) Louisiana high school students who create the best 3D fully rendered model about our great state!

    "Today's art students embrace technology as an artistic tool and pursue careers accordingly. Three-D models in movies such as Toy Story and within video games such as World of Warcraft reach millions of people and affect our world. I challenge educators and business leaders to join GRFA in embracing the digital arts as a viable industry for Louisiana and an important addition to our state's educational programming."

    Lieutenant Governor Jay Dardenne will announce the overall junior or senior winning design that will be used as the official poster of the Louisiana Bicentennial as chosen by the Louisiana Bicentennial Commission.

    The Louisiana Bicentennial Commission was created to mark the 200th anniversary of Louisiana's attainment of statehood as the 18th state in the Union.

    Through both education and celebration, the Commission's goal is to commemorate our Bicentennial in every corner of the state.
