I thought there were supposed to be three winners with 3 different cash prizes. Who are the other winners?

To get started, click here (this link is disabled because the scholarship is closed). It will allow you to create your project workspace. This workspace will provide you with a place to add updates along the way to creating your scholarship submission. It also provides a file manager where you will upload a file with the description of the steps you took to complete the submission as well as the submission itself. ALONG THE WAY NOT years before. I have nothing against the winner SHE DID A GREAT JOB, just you guys need to take a look at what you are saying and what you are doing.

It's wrong to have entries retroactive to the start date. How can you legitimately compare something that took YEARS to create to something that was done within the one month project? The rules never said anything about projects created over your lifetime. But a project with a start and end date. Like look at whateverlife.com that girl took years to create that successful website if she were to submit t hat to your projects she would have won as well. I have NO vested interest in this contest since I am 21 but I just find this wrong.

Did you even read your own rules? APPLICATION INSTRUCTIONS a. The submission will be completed as a project. Follow the link to create your project. All work should be done within this project. The project is then submitted as the entry to the scholarship. I'm impressed as well but it took more than one month to create the Magazine while others abide by the rules and completed it within the project within the project window. Other kids may have worked on projects for years they could have submitted but the rules do say the work should be done within this project.

All, The FreshBrain scholarship program is focused on rewarding teens for what they have created. This is different from most scholarships which require the submission of a one or more essays. Many of the submissions made to the scholarship were started or created outside of the scholarship window. There are no rules against this happening. It is actually fine. Sorry if there was confusion about this. We were impressed by the work that went into Costume Maker Magazine. Headbrain

This entry should be ineligible. This person has been working on this project for years. This website was registered in 2007 This is not fair to the other entries. From WHOIS.NET domain: costumemakermagazine.com created: 30-Jun-2007 last-changed: 01-Jul-2008 registration-expiration: 30-Jun-2009 % See http://registrar.1und1.info for information about 1&1 Internet AG New Website ^^ Submitted by lina on Thu, 11/22/2007 - 14:46. Look, we have a new website! ^^ I was sad at leaving the old layout, made by Nicktechyguy, behind, but I realized that this we needed a site that would work in all browsers. This is because I wanted to turn the site into a community site, where people can have their own profiles, upload costumes, and blog. I think it'd be more fun and interesting this way. ^^ Beware: This site's under heavy construction! * 1 comment
