“Winning the Lenscratch student prize
has been an incredible experience. It has provided more than I could
have ever expected, from Aline’s incredible mentoring and personal
dedication, to the tremendous amount of exposure and personal
connections that followed. The support of Lenscratch propelled my
artistic career forward, providing opportunities that were out of reach
prior and pushing beyond personal expectations. Students at every level
of education should apply for the award and embrace the process without
a doubt.” Shawn Bush, 2017 Lenscratch Student Prize Winner
