AMD Foundation to Sponsor Video Game Design Award
AMD today announced the AMD Foundation and has awarded a grant to the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers in support of AMD Changing the Game Campaign. The $65,000 grant will be used to help fund the Alliances new video game design category for the 2010 and 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers is a nonprofit organization that runs The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the most prestigious and longest-running competition in the United States recognizing teenagers intellectual creativity, innovation and artistic talent. Through this competition, scholarships and other activities, the Alliance annually reaches more than three million students in seventh through 12th grades, and 400,000 Art and English teachers. Including the new video game design category in the competition increases the reach of the program to math and science teachers and presents video game production as an art form requiring imagination, technical skill, planning and storytelling.
