Schools with our demographics can apply to compete in the national vans custom culture design competition. Vans sends us a couple pairs of blank canvas shoes and we are tasked with creating one pair that shows 'local flavor', the other is not themed. In 2018 our designs were picked out of thousands of entries and we made it to the top fifty. After that it was based on public voting to reach the top five. So proud we got as far as we did.
