scholastic art competition

What is it?

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in grades 7–12.

Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual arts. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. Students receiving Gold Keys, Silver Keys, Honorable Mentions, or American Visions & Voices Nominations are celebrated within their communities through local exhibitions and ceremonies. If your work wins a gold key in Oregon, it will go on to be judged nationally in New York. more info here: http://www.artandwriting.org/
