Calling fashionistas

Fashionistas who intend to take the runways of New York, Paris and Milan  by storm, can start their training at the Fashion Institute of  Merchandising and design, by winning a one-year scholarship worth up to  $23,000, and the deadline to enter the contest is May 15.
The Prom  Advice scholarship is open to high school seniors and juniors, and is  sponsored by Fashion Club. Only those who are member of the club are  eligible to apply. Membership in the club is free, and students can join  by visiting the web site–www.fashionclub.com.
There are two  scholarships awarded, design and merchandising. The design student must  create three celebrity-inspired prom dresses and attach fabric swatches  to an 8 x 11/2 rendering of the design. Sewing the dress is not  required, entrants are welcome to do that and send a copy of photo of  the finished product.
In the merchandising arena, students must  create a prom boutique. This lay-out must also be rendered on story  boards. Photos are also welcome for this as well.
Winners receive a  full-year scholarship which covers tuition, books and supplies and is  valued up to $23,000.
