Square Enix has announced a new creative scholarship fund with a Grand Prize of $10,000, based on its award-winning episodic series LIFE IS STRANGE – the #EverydayHeroes Scholarship Fund. Aimed at students and amateur photographers, the program is accepting entries starting today through February 16, 2016.
Based on the contest that takes place in LIFE IS STRANGE, the #EverydayHeroes Scholarship Fund calls on budding photographers to discover and capture how normal people make the world a better place. By submitting photos of these heroic moments, participants are eligible to win a $10,000 scholarship fund to enhance their artistic endeavors. The top 3 finalists’ photos will be shared across Square Enix social channels, and will be printed, framed and signed by DONTNOD, developers of LIFE IS STRANGE.
