What kinds of stories can we represent?
Your work of art need not be specific to your transfer transition, but about you as an individual transfer student. Choose a story which showcases your identity, and your resilience.
Is this contest only open to transfer students?
Because this competition is focused on transfer student identity, transfer student submissions will be prioritized.

What if I maxed out my financial aid?

Who are Creative and Writing Coaches, and when should I reach out?
Creative Coaches are faculty and staff who have volunteered to support you through your creative and writing process. Writing Coaches are peer tutors within OASIS Language Arts and Tutorial Services. It is highly encouraged that you reach out to a creative or writing coach; this will be considered within the judging process. Reach out, make a connection, share your story, and brainstorm ideas!
We have an amazing group of judges from all around campus who volunteer to review art and synopsis submissions. A rubric has been created to ensure submissions meet contest criteria:
Creative and Writing coaches are resources for participants as they embark on their reflective, creative, and writing journeys. They will work with you - challenging you to think critically about you previous experiences and identity, and how this information is reflected within your artwork and synopsis.
You are highly encourage to meet with a creative coach - this could be considered in the judging process!
