We are proud to announce that Felicia Gassen is the winner of the Peter Lik fall semester scholarship. This semi-annual Photo contest is open to University of Nevada Las Vegas (UNLV) undergraduate and graduate students pursuing art degrees with an emphasis on photography.

Two students are awarded the $2,500 scholarship each year, one for spring semester and one for fall. Photos are submitted from dozens of students and judged by a board for: composition, level of difficulty, and overall aesthetic.

Felicia is a senior and plans to pursue an MFA degree upon competition of her studies. Pete was very impressed with her work and was excited to meet Ms. Gassen.

As a Las Vegas resident, and a leader in the field of photography, Peter is always excited to encourage up-and-coming local artists. Just as many of young artists are inspired by his work, Pete finds motivation in the work of passionate young artists and hopes to encourage students to follow their dreams.

Congratulations Felicia!
