Pinellas Park, FL-Optical students can now enter to win 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.

Now through November 30, Transitions Optical will accept submissions through the Share Your Impact tab on the Transitions Lenses: Healthy Sight Professionals Facebook page. Finalists will be chosen based on creativity and the entrants’ ability to communicate how they have, or will, use their professional expertise to make a difference by impacting the lives of other persons.

The finalists will each receive a $100 cash prize and a voucher for a pair of Transitions adaptive lenses. Grand prize winners will receive $500 and an all-expenses paid trip to Transitions Optical headquarters in Tampa, FL, 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.

Complete contest rules are available on the Share Your Impact tab on the Transitions Lenses: Healthy Sight Professionals Facebook page.
