Environment Reporter
The American Indian College Fund and Pendleton Woolen Mills are calling on tribal college and university students to submit original designs for their annual tribal college blanket design competition. Students have until Jan. 15 to submit designs expressing their culture and identity. The top three winners will receive scholarship money and cash. The grand prize is a $5,000 scholarship and $2,000 in cash.
The winning design will be added to Pendleton’s American Indian College Fund collection to be sold and distributed internationally. This is the groups’ sixth year holding the competition. Past winners have gone on to design for Pendleton and Nike, according to the Daily Montanan. No prior design experience is required. The blanket design application and guidelines can be found on the College Fund’s website.
