All high school-age students are invited to enter the 2025 Ringling College X EasyEase Design Challenge for a chance to win a $10,000 scholarship, among other prizes.
This year’s challenge is to create a band name or logo, an album name, and a looping animated album cover that could be featured on music streaming platforms like Spotify or Apple Music. The goal of the project is to creatively reflect the mood and attitude of the music. The band name (logo) and the name of the album should be important elements in the design. For additional info, and to submit a design, visit easyease.co.
The first-place winner will receive a $10,000 Ringling College scholarship, $500 cash, a Motion Design t-shirt, and a one-hour faculty portfolio review and consultation. Second place will receive a scholarship to the Ringling PreCollege Summer Program, $400 cash, as well as merch and a portfolio review. The top five entrants will all receive cash prizes and merch.
The deadline for submissions is January 11, 2026. Winners will be announced on January 25.
Designs should be in a square format (2000 px X 2000 px) with an animated loop no longer than five seconds. The band name and/or logo and album name should feature prominently, and extra credit will be allocated for all original artwork.
