In the wake of its newest Bratz movie, Bratz Girlz Really Rock, Lionsgate has announced the winners of the Bratz Girlz Scholarship Contest.

Natasha Barton of Lakewood, Colo.; Bradley Miller of Central Point, Ore.; Bailey Reese of Niceville, Fla.; and Anjali Sood of Jackson, Tenn. will receive a savings bond of $15,000 for their education. More than 800 applicants entered the essay contest, announced last year with the release of Bratz: The Movie on DVD.

“The positive messages of being true to yourself and pursuing your passions are integral to the Bratz philosophy,” said Michael Rathauser, VP of marketing for Lionsgate.

Each winner also will receive the new DVD movie and the new line of Bratz Girlz Really Rock fashion dolls.
