PINELLAS PARK, Fla.— Transitions Optical is accepting submissions for the 2013 Students of Vision Scholarship, a program supported by the Transitions Healthy Sight for Life Fund. This year’s Share Your Impact theme encourages students to explain how they will use their professional expertise to make a difference in the lives of others.

From Sept. 1 through Nov. 30, Transitions Optical will accept submissions through the Share Your Impact tab on the Transitions Lenses: Healthy Sight Professionals Facebook page. Entries can be submitted as a video, photograph, poster, drawing, painting, illustration or short story. The top finalists will be chosen based on creativity and their ability to communicate how they have, or will, use their professional expertise to make a difference and the impact they think it will have on the lives of others.

Finalists will receive a $100 cash prize and a voucher for a pair of Transitions adaptive lenses. Grand prize winners will receive $500 and an all-expense paid trip to the Transitions Optical headquarters here for a day of education and leadership training from industry experts. All winners will be selected by a team of judges at Transitions Optical and will be announced by Jan. 31, 2014.
