Art students Megan Bradley and Wilson Tharp join more than 200 top college illustration students this week in a competitive exhibition at the Museum of American Illustration in New York City. The work will be on display May 10 to June 4.

25 students will be chosen to receive scholarships

The exhibit, which will include a full color catalog, is part of the 2016 Society of Illustrators Student Scholarship Competition.

A jury of professional peers, including illustrators and art directors, will choose the most outstanding works created throughout the year. Pieces are accepted based on the quality of technique, concept and skill of medium used.

Scholarship awards, made possible by the Society’s endowment, private and corporate donors and proceeds from an annual auction of member-donated artworks, are granted to about 25 students whose work is deemed the best of the best.

Awards and certificates will be given to the students during the opening reception on May 13.
