Yankee Candle x Nanyang Polytechnic School of Interactive and Digital Media Online Voting Contest

We have been selected this year by Nanyang Polytechnic’s (NYP) School of Interactive and Digital Media (SIDM) as its industry partner for its second-year ‘Diploma in Motion Graphics and Broadcast Design’ students taking the Integrated Project Module as part of their course curriculum. This Integrated Project Module is where students will be graded on Motion Design, 3D for Motion Graphics, Illustration, Branding Concept and Modern & Pop Culture. The second-year SIDM students taking this Integrated Project Module were organized into teams of 3 and given creative license to create an animated branding video for our ‘Riviera Escape’ range of new summer fragrances, which will be launched 1 July 2016. To conclude this six-week long collaborative project, we are launching an online voting contest to determine the best animated video. The team with the most number of LIKES on their video, which are posted on our YouTube channel, will win a 4-Day-3-Night idyllic escapade to Gold Coast, Australia, one of Asia’s beautiful rivieras.
