UNPACKING THE SCHOLASTIC ART & WRITING AWARDS: A CELEBRATION OF YOUNG CREATIVE TALENT



For students in grades 7 through 12 with a passion for art, writing, and creative expression, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards provide a platform to showcase talent and gain recognition.

For over 100 years, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have celebrated the achievements of young artists and writers, offering students the opportunity to be recognized for their creativity and technical skill. Students can submit work in a wide range of categories, including poetry, fiction, memoirs, visual arts, photography, and digital art. With regional and national levels of competition, the awards serve as a significant stepping stone for those looking to pursue a career in the arts, as well as for those seeking scholarship opportunities for higher education.

Many past winners have shared how winning the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards shaped their creative journeys. "Winning a Gold Medal completely changed how I viewed my work," one Gold Medalist shared. "It gave me the confidence to pursue my writing further and encouraged me to take more creative risks." For others, the awards have opened doors to college scholarships and exhibitions in New York City. “The recognition from the awards gave me the boost I needed to apply for scholarships I never thought I could get,” another winner explained.

In addition to recognition and scholarships, the awards provide an invaluable network of peers and mentors. "The connections I made through the awards were transformative," said a past recipient. "It introduced me to a community of creatives who inspired me and helped guide my work toward a professional level." Many Gold Medalists highlight how these connections have impacted their future careers, further validating the long-term value of participating in the competition.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards continue to foster and recognize young talent, providing not only accolades but also vital opportunities to help young creatives take the next step in their artistic and literary careers.
