Former WWE Diva, AJ Lee, Sponsors Scholorship Contest With Girls Make Games
It seems like gaming has been bit by the Black Widow.
Using her newfound free time, celebrity, and well documented passion for video games, (and all things geek,) former professional wrestler, AJ Lee, is sponsoring a $1500 scholarship to attend an upcoming camp in Chicago, free of charge! Teaming with Girls Make Games, an organization that focuses on establishing summer camps, workshops, and game jams designed to inspire the next generation of female designers, the hope is to give a head start to the girls out there who would dare to chase their dreams in a field that’s traditionally male dominated.
From now until May 15th, girls ranging from ages 11-14 can submit a one minute video of a game design concept that they would want to create during a GMG camp. Entries are limited to one per day, but each candidate can submit as many as they want! One submission will be chosen as the winner, awarding its creator with the golden ticket, so to speak. Even if you’re not a Chicago native, the chance to explore your passion on a scholarship like this might be worth the travel costs. I mean, I would jump on it if I was a young girl, and no matter how much I pretend to be, I doubt I would qualify.
Details are as follows:
- Winner gets to attend the Chicago, IL camp at DePaul University free of charge! ($1500 value sponsored by AJ Brooks)
- Open to girls ages 11-14.who wish to attend the GMG Chicago 2015 summer camp.
- Multiple entries are A-OK.(Up to 1 entry per day for how many days?)
- Scholarship is non-transferable.The scholarship may not be transferred or used for any other camp.
Now’s your chance to shine, potential game designers! Show the world what you can do! Or at least the greatest Diva’s Champion of all time. It’s a start, right?
