The 2014 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is Now Accepting Submissions!
Artists & Writers -- perhaps better known here at Scholastic as "Back-to-School" -- is officially upon us. In addition to clean planners and fresh crayons, the start of the school year means it's time for the annual call for submissions for the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the nation's longest-running scholarship and recognition program for creative teens. Starting today, students in grades 7-12 can log ontowww.artandwriting.org and submit their work.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards was established in 1923 by Maurice R. Robinson, the founder of Scholastic. His aim? To encourage the nation's creative youth and provide students who expressed themselves through their art and writing "at least a fraction of the honors and rewards accorded to their athletic classmates." His mission lives on 90+ years later.
This year, the Awards is offering students more scholarship opportunities than ever before. For the first time in the program's history, Portfolio Gold Medals -- the highest possible honor, which includes a $10,000 cash scholarship -- will be awarded to 16 outstanding seniors instead of 15. You can learn more about the call for submissions in the press release issued earlier today.
We urge you to help us spread the word about this fantastic program. Are there creative middle and high school students in your life? Friends who have teenagers? Teacher friends who might be willing to share this exciting opportunity with their classes? Let 'em know about the Awards! You can find more information online at www.artandwriting.org.
