Select a finalist from each region, and the chosen five will be flown to New York City where the winner will be chosen by a panel of experts in design, art, street culture and action sports. The winning high school will receive $50,000 for its art program, and the school's shoe designs will go on sale in 2012.\n\nCheck out the designs on the Vans Custom Culture website and vote now! Polls are open today through 11:59 pm EDT on May 2.\n\n-- PAHULL BAINS"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
