LOTTERY ANNOUNCES COLLEGIATE SCRATCH TICKET DESIGN CONTEST WINNERS
April 30, 2009
Boise – For the second consecutive year, a Lewis-Clark State College graphic design student has won the Idaho Lottery’s Annual Collegiate Scratch Ticket Design Contest. Andy Burdin, a senior majoring in Graphic Design/Printing Technology won first place with the design of “Vault Buster”, a Scratch game aimed at breaking the bank and winning up to $10,000.
“This competition provides our students the opportunity to work with a real client and to create a compelling design with unique game play,” said Brian Kolstad, Associate Professor of Graphic Design/Printing Technology at LCSC. “Plus, by winning, it gives us the opportunity to showcase our work to the rest of the great State of Idaho.”
The announcement of Burdin’s win came during a check presentation with Lottery Officials at Lewis-Clark State College on Tuesday morning. Burdin earned $1,000 in a cash scholarship from the Idaho Lottery for the winning design. The straight-forward, colorful ticket design features two games played on the open doors of a bank vault, one loaded with gold bars and the other stacked with cash. If a player scratches and reveals the word “Bust” in the “Bonus Bag” of money that sits between the two doors, any prize won in the game is automatically doubled.
“I had been watching the movies Ocean’s 11, 12 and 13 and thought that idea might work great as a scratch ticket,” said Burdin during the press event at LCSC on Tuesday. “I wanted to create something that was definitely a lot of fun.”
This is the sixth year the Idaho Lottery has sponsored the statewide Collegiate Scratch Ticket Design Contest. The Idaho Lottery was created for the benefit of Idaho’s public schools and the State’s Permanent Building Fund, including facilities on the Lewis-Clark State College campus.
“This design contest is one more way the Idaho Lottery furthers our mission of benefiting public schools and college campuses,” said Sherie Moody-St. Clair, the Idaho Lottery’s Creative Services Director. “It’s a great opportunity for collegiate graphic design students to utilize their education skills in a real-life, work scenario while adding to their creative portfolio.”
Burdin’s “Vault Buster” was not the only winner for LCSC this year. Amanda Strong’s colorful, creative design for “Fortune Grove” took third place honors in the statewide competition. Strong, a sophomore majoring in Graphic Design/Printing Technology earned $200 in a cash scholarship from the Idaho Lottery for her intricate game design that features a unique coordinates-style of game play. Her magical forest design features a forest full of colorful characters including a wizard, dwarf and pixie.
This year’s second place winner was Grant Hoki from North Idaho College in Coeur d’Alene for his design of “Cushion Cash”, a game that features hidden treasures among the cushions of a sofa. For the second place finish, Hoki received a $500 cash scholarship from the Idaho Lottery. This is the first top winner from North Idaho College in the six year history of this event.
All three Collegiate Scratch Ticket Design Contest winners are eligible to be included as part of the Idaho Lottery’s official Scratch game line-up in Fiscal Year 2010. All three of last years’ Collegiate Scratch Ticket Design Contest winners are currently available for sale from most Idaho Lottery retail locations.
