Sebastian What's Next Student Tribe Program

Last year hundreds of students sent in videos telling us why THEY deserve to be chosen as a part of the Sebastian Student Tribe. Fifteen lucky students were chosen, and lead the charge to put their school on the map during the What’s Next Awards Competition.

These students had exclusive access to the Sebastian Professional leadership and Design Team members for inspiration, tips and mentorship. They also held LIVE viewing parties at their school where they cheered on their counterparts during the What’s Next Awards.

...And this year, they're going bigger…

This year, Sebastian Professional will be choosing Fifteen Schools to participate in exclusive inspirational and educational training with the Sebastian Professional Team - we’re calling these schools, our Sebastian School Tribe. If you want YOUR school to participate and help YOU make it big with Sebastian post a photo of your work on Instagram and use the hashtag #SebastianSchool #SchoolName to be entered to join our team.

Sebastian’s coming back in black - and back to school. Will you be what’s Next?

WHAT IS THE SCHOOL TRIBE?

The Sebastian School Tribe is a group of 15 exclusive schools who believe that their students have what it takes to win the Sebastian What’s Next Awards. They will be given exclusive access to the Sebastian team to help their students through the application process! Exclusive tips - creative and technique support - yea that sounds pretty solid to us!
