Going strong since: August 9th, 2011William Shakespeare School of the Arts is a private boarding school located in Manhattan, New York. The academy is known worldwide for its excellent programs for aspiring artists. One of the main things that keeps the school filled with students and portfolios sent from every which way is the fierce competition held at the end of each school year between graduating seniors. Only one comes out as the victor and wins the deal of a lifetime: a contract, record deal, or perhaps a grant. Desperate times often call for desperate measures, but how far is too far when it comes to getting competition out of the way?
