American InterContintental University trounces Houston competition

In a design competition with the Arts Institute, American InterContinental University’s Visual Communications program is walking away with some serious bragging rights as it won seven of the top ten awards. It won every award for outstanding artwork from first through fourth. In the competition, each school submitted ten works of art representing the best work of students in selected programs, judged by a panel of local industry professionals. Top winners were Tenyah Yeh for a Digitanl Media piece called 1.7 Baby Girls, Linah Tul-Jamil for Oil-Based Inks and Digital Media with a piece called Amelie, and Amelia Avalos for a 35mm B&W entitled Moulin Rouge.

Nicole Bent, Chair of AIU’s Visual Communications department credited the “dedicated faculty” as well as “students who are willing to work hard.”
