Subject:	REMINDER! - CONCEPT ART AWARDS - CALL FOR ENTRIES!

Below are instructions for how to enter your work into the CONCEPT ART AWARDS!

WHAT?: 

• Every year, the Concept Art Association sponsors the Concept Art Awards, with the awards ceremony occurring during Lightbox Expo in Pasadena, CA in October. 

• The Concept Art Awards ceremony is like the Oscars for concept artists - it takes place in a historic theater near the Expo, there is an MC, famous concept artist announcers, a live band, and winners get to go on stage to accept their award - it???s a great time!

• It is open to all concept art professionals and students, and there are 2 student-specific categories: Character and Environment

WHO?

• All Junior and Senior Illustration Majors

WHEN?

• As soon as possible

• The entries for the Concept Art Awards aren???t due until August usually, but I would like to get it done as soon as entries are allowed to be submitted.

• If you need some extra time (like a week or so) LET ME KNOW: smurray@c.ringling.edu

HOW?

• Sean Murray, everyone???s second-favorite professor, has graciously agreed to ENTER YOUR WORK ON YOUR BEHALF

• All YOU have to do is put 1 or 2 (max) of your best pieces from the past 2 semesters as JPGs no bigger than 2000 pixels on the longest side into A FOLDER LABELED WITH YOUR NAME (In other words, create a folder inside of the respective ???Character??? or ???Environment??? category folder that is labeled something like: ???LASTNAME_FIRSTNAME???), AND a Google Doc with the following information:

• YOUR NAME (as you would like it to appear with your entry and if you win)

• YOUR EMAIL ADDRESS

• YOUR GRADUATING YEAR

• THE NAME(s) OF  YOUR PIECES (reference the file name)

• THE NAME OF THE PROFESSOR YOU COMPLETED THE IMAGE FOR

WHY?

• Because it???s cool

• Because IT???S FREE!!!!!

• Because I said so.

Here is the folder with the 2 Category folders. Remember to CREATE A NEW FOLDER in the category you are entering in (Or BOTH if you are entering something in both categories) that is labeled with your name:

https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1nMSApDIS1s4Enzz33o6zjvLAjfMkIS2w?usp=drive_link

IF YOU DO NOT FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTIONS AS I HAVE WRITTEN THEM you risk not having your pieces entered. 

Remember - maximum 2 entries per category per student (so 4 total possible)

Thanks, and GOOD LUCK!

Subject:	Reminder: Annual Student Health Insurance Waiver & Enrollment Forms are now open!

The 2025-26 Student Health Insurance Waiver & Enrollment Forms are now open!

As a reminder, all domestic students must submit a waiver or enroll in the student health insurance (now offered with dental coverage) on an annual basis.

International students are automatically enrolled in the student health insurance plan and do not need to take action. International students who wish to waive must complete a paper waiver form each year (email healthinsurance@ringling.edu to request this form).

You will see a health insurance fee on your student account for the annual health insurance premium. The charge will be removed after your waiver for the 2025-26 year has been submitted. Please note: It may take 3-5 days for the charge to be removed from your account.

The deadline to submit a waiver is Friday, August 22, 2025!
