High school students across the Middle East have been challenged to come up with the most imaginative idea for their formula for success. This year's competition, gives students the opportunity to share their visions of the path to success, said an official spokesman.

Two entrants will win full four-year Shaikha Mozah bint Nasser Al Missned Scholarships for Creativity at VCUQatar and the top three high school students from each of the 12  countries will receive cash prizes of $1200 for first place, $800 for second place and $600 for third place.

'This is an unbeatable opportunity for talented Bahraini students to get cash prizes and to get one of the two full four-year Shaikha Mozah Scholarships for Creativity.  Qatar has made it easy for students in the region to get a world-class education without leaving their families far away,' said VCUQatar director of marketing and public relations Moamer Qazafi.

VCUQatar's Sixth Annual Design Competition is sponsored by Qatar Islamic Bank (QIB) who will provide the cash prizes.
