Scholastic Art Awards 2019

Scholastic Art Awards 2019

The Scholastic Art Awards are coming up. The deadline to submit art is sometime in December or January. Once you make a scholastic account the specific deadlines will be visible on your home page. For every piece you submit it costs $5 and a submission form needs to be signed (instructions on how to do that are provided once you make an account). Seniors also have an option to submit a cohesive body of work. We highly recommend you submit a piece because a lot of people win, sometimes you can go on to the national level, and these rewards look great on resumes and college applications.

What are the awards?

"Students receiving Gold Keys, Silver Keys, Honorable Mentions, or American Voices & Visions Nominations are celebrated within their communities through local exhibitions and ceremonies. Gold Key works are then judged nationally by an impressive panel of creative–industry experts to receive National Medals, including Gold Medals, Silver Medals, American Voices & Visions Medals, Gold Medal and Silver with Distinction Portfolio Medals, and Special Achievement Awards. National Medalists are recognized in part at the National Ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York City."
