INDIANAPOLIS - Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance again will offer college scholarships to Indiana high school students through the company's eXceL Awards competition.
Secrets is the topic for the 2007-2008 competition. This topic was chosen by last year's eXceL Awards state finalists from ideas submitted to Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance. Students can enter their creative interpretation of Secrets in one of six categories: writing, music, two-dimensional art, three-dimensional art, video or performance art.
Through the eXceL Awards, Indiana Farm Bureau Insurance presents six state first-place winners $3,000 each, with $2,500 going to six second-place contestants and $2,000 going to six third-place entrants. An additional $1,000 will be awarded to the student whose entry is considered "Best of Show." The Indiana high school with the highest total number of entries advancing to the state finals is awarded a $3,000 cash prize. During the 2006-2007 competition, nearly 5,200 entries were received from more than 240 high schools and several home schools throughout the state.
