The Ford Blue Oval Scholars program is a national Web-based initiative that will provide Ford Motor Company Fund scholarship winners a place to network and share information with each other, learn about internships and jobs, plan and implement community service activities, and access information about careers. Ford Motor Company Fund is committed to making the new Ford Blue Oval Scholars program different, and more relevant, than traditional scholarship programs. To kick off the initiative, the Fund is launching a national logo design contest open to amateur and professional designers age 16 and older. The winning design will be used as the official logo for both the Web site and all printed materials of the Ford Blue Oval Scholars program. A panel of Ford Motor Company employees and design experts will choose the top ten designs. Ford Blue Oval Scholars will vote online to pick the winning logo.
Entries must be received by November 1, 2007. The winner will be announced December 1, 2007. For contest details and materials, click on the buttons at the top of this page: http://www.fordracingevents.com/fordscholars/aboutUs.html.
