Paws for a Cause Design Scholarship

Scholarship Value: $10,000
Awards Available: 2
Award Deadline: Nov 1, 2024

Since 2015, millions in the world have been looking, feeling and doing good in BOBS from Skechers…to date, we’ve given more than $10 million to help save and care for 1.9 million shelter dogs and cats! A proud partner of Petco Love and their amazing network of 4,000 animal welfare organizations, Skechers makes a donation for every BOBS item we sell nationwide.

We’re looking for two college students who want to use their creative talents to give back to these animals in need! Imagine your dog or cat print on a BOBS from Skechers shoe sold in the United States that’s helping save the lives of shelter animals…it could be you!

The BOBS from Skechers Paws for a Cause Design Scholarship will offer:

  • A $10,000 college scholarship from the Skechers Foundation for the 2025/2026 academic year
  • Your designed print produced on BOBS from Skechers shoes sold in the United States in 2025
  • Three individual virtual mentoring sessions with Skechers corporate leadership and/or design team
  • If a local animal welfare organization of your choice meets the criteria of our donation partner, we will ensure that a donation is made in your area

Submissions must be received by November 1, 2024; scholarship recipients will be notified in December 2024.

One entry per category (up to one dog and one cat design) only, please. Duplicate submissions will be deleted and not judged.

TWO EASY STEPS

1) Using the following list of shoe/swatch templates and examples, design your most unique, appealing, emotional, creative dog or cat graphic (or one design for each category) for the following style, or a universal mosaic pattern that can be applied to this style. Please submit a shoe image (in .ai or .pdf format) and a swatch (in .ai format at 300 DPI or higher). Mosaic patterns should be a 10 inch x 10 inch repeat print file. You can check out Skechers.com to see examples of our current collections, but we encourage you to express yourself. (No AI!)
