1.\tHow did you hear about the scholarship contest?<\/strong>
\nI found it online through scholarships.com. It\u2019s kind of an interesting story. I had looked for scholarships on that website and saved those that were my favorite months back. I was going to apply for graduate school, but was also thinking of a mission for our church. I\u2019m LDS, or a Mormon, and women can serve a mission if they choose for 18 months. One night I got really sick. I thought I just had the flu and went to work, but my dad was worried about me. He called me at work and asked about different symptoms and I started to realize I had had them over the past months. He told me he was picking me up and taking me to the hospital and he and my mom ended up taking me in and I had emergency abdominal surgery for a cyst that had ruptured. I was lucky I made it in just barely in time or my outcome might have been worse; I might not be here. I\u2019m very grateful to my parents for watching out for me at that time and for my hometown community\u2019s support. I came through surgery ok, but unfortunately caught the swine flu shortly after as it was going around New Mexico at the time. I recovered from that but went through a long and rather grueling recovery period that lasted about six months. It was a very difficult time, and it pretty much ruled out going on a mission. I actually took the GRE not long after surgery; it was definitely a rough exam that day. I got accepted into graduate school, which was great, but due to costs of the surgery and repeated doctor appointments I wasn\u2019t sure how I was going to afford it. Still, I decided I was going to go and find a way to do so. I returned to scholarships.com hoping I could find the scholarships I\u2019d saved months ago there and try for one of them.<\/p>\n

2.\tHow many scholarships did you apply for?<\/strong>
\nI applied for a couple with the college I planned to go to and started a couple of those online, but then decided to just focus on this one because I wasn\u2019t doing well, had very little energy, and this was my favorite of them all. It seemed fun and provided such an amazing award, and it gave me something enjoyable to do while I was down. I\u2019ve also always liked cards and thought they\u2019d be fun to design, so it was right up my alley. Plus, I loved the fact that it provided another smaller award that would benefit your school. That is such a cool idea! I have to tell you, though, friends and I used to joke that we didn\u2019t even know if the scholarships online were a real thing. Coming from such a small town, you don\u2019t really know of anyone who\u2019s ever received anything like this or of the companies that provide such contests. It seemed almost unbelievable to think that a company would do something like this, but I certainly hoped the scholarship contests were real and was going to give it a shot because I desperately needed it.<\/p>\n

3.\tWhat was the idea behind your entry?<\/strong>
\n\tI love the outdoors, the mountains, and country homes nestled in beautiful areas. I \tknow a lot of people love that, so I thought I would try to paint a scene portraying \tthat and used my parent\u2019s log home and the Montana mountains where I spent my \tsummers growing up as elements for it. I\u2019ve also seen cards showing all four \tdifferent seasons and thought I might try a type of calendar card showing the \tsame setting in all four seasons. Since oil paint hardens, oxidizing rather than \tdrying, I thought I might be able to overlay clear plastic sheets on top of a canvas \tand just paint sections on those sheets to change the season. I had no idea if it \twould really work, but after doing the first layer and finding the oil paint stuck, it \tseemed like it was going to, so I created a few more that could be layered one on \ttop another to change the seasons (summer over fall, spring over summer and fall, \tand winter over the other three seasons layers). I also thought of kids. I know kids \tlove different things like that and thought they might like a card where you could \tflip one season over like a flip chart to see the next season below.<\/p>\n

4.\tDid you create the entry specifically for the contest or did you submit a piece you already had?<\/strong>
\n\tI created the entry specifically for the contest and tried to make it something that \twould work card-size.<\/p>\n

5.\tHow long did it take to create your entry?<\/strong>
\n\tIt took many months to create. I would paint part of it, then rest for a while till I \thad energy again and the paint had hardened. Oils oxidize rather than dry so it \ttakes a long time for layers to set before you can paint another layer\u2014sometimes \tdays. I didn’t finish it in time for the year I intended to send it in. I considered \tdoing a quick job to finish it but decided I would wait till the next year and make \tit a little better. It was hard to wait because I worried whether the competition \twould occur again the next year; I know things can change, but I waited and sent \tit in the following year after I\u2019d finished it to the standard I wanted and that \tturned out to be the most perfect timing actually.<\/p>\n

6.\tDoes your entry have any special meaning to you?<\/strong>
\n\tIt has a lot of special meaning. I think it shows a glimpse of what I love and what \ta lot of people love. I love the mountains, country areas, and the old style fence \tyou see in the painting. I\u2019m pretty patriotic and I love our land; we are lucky to \thave so many beautiful areas and I tried to make the scene one. I also love a lot of \tthe simple things in life I tried to stick in the painting\u2014gardens, tire swings, and \tanything to do with Christmas! Also, I spent my summers on my grandmother\u2019s \t\tranch in Montana growing up, a country area that will always have a special place \tin my heart, and I was trying to add some aspects of that country to the painting.<\/p>\n

7.\tWhere were you when you received the news that you won the $10,000 Scholarship prize?<\/strong>
\n\tI was in my apartment at college working on a paper. <\/p>\n

8.\tWhat was going through your mind when you found out that you won?<\/strong>
\nAbout twenty things at once! Disbelief, elation, and a lot of gratitude being the top. I was trying to keep myself contained through our conversation. I was also trying not to laugh at Mr. DeVore\u2019s nonchalant way of telling me I won. He had a good sense of humor in it all and was patient with my stumbling excitement. <\/p>\n

9.\tWho was the first person you told after you found out that you won?<\/strong>
\n\tMy mom, then my dad and brothers, then my roommate and friends, and then . . . \t\ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

10.\tDid you celebrate in any way?<\/strong>
\n\tAfter I calmed down from jumping around in my apartment in excitement and \tgratitude I definitely did! My roommate and I went out to dinner and celebrated.<\/p>\n

11.\tHave you recommended this contest to other people you know?<\/strong>
\n\tI have mentioned this contest to many many people and encouraged people to try \tfor it or to try another type of scholarship contest because . . . they are real! And \tthey are wonderful. Any artist reading this ought to give it a shot, you never know \tuntil you try, or continue to try if need be.<\/p>\n

12.\tDid receiving the $10,000 scholarship change your school plans in any way?<\/strong>
\nIt completely changed my plans. I was planning to quit graduate school if I didn\u2019t receive the scholarship to work full time so I could save enough money to return and complete my degree. I have held at least one job all throughout getting my education, usually two, but the costs of a graduate degree can be steep. <\/p>\n

13.\tHow did receiving the $10,000 scholarship help you with your education?<\/strong>
\n\tHonestly, I wouldn\u2019t have my education right now without it. I wouldn\u2019t have \tcompleted graduate school, and I wouldn\u2019t have the great job I have now.\t<\/p>\n

14.\tWhat did you use the $10,000 for?<\/strong>
\nI used it for tuition mostly and some rent.<\/p>\n

15.\tWhich school did the $1,000 prize go to?<\/strong>
\n\tThe $1,000 prize was given as a scholarship to another student, Michaela Stuver, \tat our college (the College of Natural Resources, Utah State University) and I \twas allowed to present it to her; that was, honestly, one of the coolest parts of this \tscholarship, especially as Michaela was pursuing her education to do some neat \tthings in a related field. <\/p>\n

16.\tWhat was your schools reaction to receiving the $1,000 prize?<\/strong>
\n\tEveryone was so pleased! When the cards came out, the college purchased cards \tto send out for that year\u2019s Christmas cards and sent one to me here in Arizona. I \tthink the scholarship spread some good will and excitement.<\/p>\n

17.\tWhat are you currently doing?<\/strong>
\n\tI currently work as a NEPA planner (NEPA stands for the National \tEnvironmental Policy Act) with the Forest Service in one of the most beautiful \tareas of the Southwest and an area I used to want to live in when I was little\u2014\tI really lucked out. I feel really blessed.<\/p>\n

18.\tWhat did you study in college?<\/strong>
\nMy master\u2019s degree was in natural resources with a NEPA certificate. I just received my diploma in the mail a couple weeks ago.<\/p>\n

19.\tWhat advice would you give to someone who is thinking about entering the scholarship contest?<\/strong>
\n\tDo it, don\u2019t doubt yourself, take a chance and do something creative you\u2019ve \tthought about, and if it doesn\u2019t work out, don\u2019t quit, continue to build on what \tyou know and try again. Success is often built on the stepping stones of failed \tattempts. I can\u2019t remember how many times Edison tried to make a light bulb \twork, but it was many. And when he had one of the first models that actually \tworked, he handed it to a boy who dropped it and it shattered. Twenty four hours \tlater after creating a working model again, he handed it to the same boy. I\u2019ve \tdone contests of various types throughout my life many without the hoped for \tresults, but others that have worked out. You\u2019ll never know what could happen if \tyou don\u2019t try, and give it your best try, and you\u2019ll never know what you can do or \tcome up with if you don\u2019t challenge yourself. Plus, like Edison was with the boy, \tyou\u2019d be amazed at the people willing to take a chance on you or support you, \teven when they don\u2019t even know you.<\/p>\n

20. Were you always interested in art or design?<\/strong>
\n\tI have always been interested in art. I always liked to draw and paint and since we \tdidn\u2019t have a lot of elective courses to choose from in our school I took art almost \tevery year if not every year. I had a truly good art teacher who moved to our \tsmall town for a few years and he really helped me with painting. I have actually \tbeen trying to \tlocate him to send him a card.<\/p>\n

21. How did it feel when you first saw the card produced with your design?<\/strong>
\n\tExcited, grateful, and motivated to continue painting, and I am. I hope to be able \tto learn from some other artists, possibly try a few new mediums, and if I can get \tmy pieces to look like I want, perhaps do a few art shows down the road. <\/p>\n

22. Do you still have one of your cards?<\/strong>
\n\tI certainly do. I have it framed as a reminder of the incredible good things that can \thappen if you keep your head up through hard times and of the good people \twilling to give to help a complete stranger in life. <\/p>\n

We are honored that even though Dawnee was going through so much at the time, she still took the time to submit such an amazing piece of artwork to us. We want to thank Dawnee again for taking the time out to answer our questions and we hope you enjoyed catching up with Dawnee as much as we did!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"In today’s entry into our Create-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship Look Back Series, we have an interview with the 2010 Scholarship…","protected":false},"author":70,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"ngg_post_thumbnail":0,"csco_singular_sidebar":"","csco_page_header_type":"","csco_page_load_nextpost":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[1295,1313,476],"tags":[909,50,269,270,303],"class_list":{"0":"post-5059","1":"post","2":"type-post","3":"status-publish","4":"format-standard","6":"category-community-and-engagement","7":"category-contests","8":"category-2010-scholarship-contest","9":"tag-business-christmas-cards","10":"tag-christmas-cards","11":"tag-create-a-greeting-card-scholarship","12":"tag-10000-scholarship","13":"tag-10000-greeting-card-scholarship","14":"cs-entry"},"yoast_head":"\nCreate-A-Greeting-Card Scholarship Look Back Series \u2013 2010 Winner Interview -
