2008 COMPETITION AWARDS
ABC, in collaboration with professional companies and schools, awards apprenticeships, traineeships, scholarships and cash awards. Traineeships and scholarships are awarded by representatives of the awarding company or school or, at their request, by the ABC jury. Winners of cash awards may also be awarded a scholarship award and scholarships may be awarded to competitors not placing in the top three award categories. Companies and schools reserve the right not to award contracts, traineeships or scholarships.
Trainee and scholarship recipients are responsible for contacting and making all arrangements directly with the awarding school or company. If unable to accept the award, the recipient must communicate that with the awarding school or company in a timely manner. Some schools may extend summer scholarships to the next year and may require recipient to be re-evaluated.
