The Dreams Academy kicks off with musician
contest; winner receives $10,000 and one-on-one mentorship time
with Prince Royce
Sprint (NYSE: S) and award-winning musician Prince Royce are
teaming up to launch The Dreams Academy, part of #LiveUnlimited
initiative to assist people in pursuing their life-long goals. The
Dreams Academy will provide aspiring artists and innovators
resources – including contests, grants, internships and mentorship
opportunities – to help guide their journey.
To celebrate the launch of The Dreams Academy, Sprint and Royce
are kicking off a music contest, awarding $10,000 and a one-on-one
mentorship session with Royce to one grand-prize winner. Two
runners-up will each receive $5,000. Additional categories within
the program will be added in the coming months and may include such
topics as technology, entrepreneurship and community activism.
“Prince Royce has said that Sprint was a catalyst for him
pursuing his dreams, and now he and Sprint want to give back and
help others who are committed, driven and willing to work hard to
achieve their career aspirations,” said Alberto Lorente, Sprint
vice president of multicultural marketing.
In April 2015, Prince Royce, a multi-platinum superstar, again
became part of the Sprint family to develop and amplify unique
music-related initiatives and programs. Royce began his
relationship with Sprint as an employee in New York while pursuing
a career in music. He used his Sprint earnings to record the demo
that helped launch his first album and kick-start his musical
career. Both Sprint and Royce believe in championing ALL dreams and
look for creative ways to help individuals and communities stay
connected and truly live without limits.
“There is no better partner with whom to launch this program
than our friend Royce, who, like many of us, know the journey to
pursuing your goals first-hand,” said Lorente. “We aim to make a
significant impact in encouraging and empowering individuals to
share and follow their dreams. Through The Dreams Academy, part of
the #LiveUnlimited initiative, we will get to support, connect and
see customers’ ideas come to life and that for us is part of what
our mission is all about.”
