The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards has been held annually since 1923, and past winners have included Robert Redford, Andy Warhol, Richard Avedon, Richard Linklater and Zac Posen, among many others. Our state-wide, regional competition is sponsored this year by both the Boston Globe and Tufts University. Last year they received about 18,000 submissions, viewed by more than fifty judges, and nationally, there were more than 330,000 entries.
The six students receiving a Gold Key (Simone, Maria Cara, Ryan, Davin, Emily, and Salyn) will go on to compete in the national competition. National award winners will be announced in Mid-March. (Fingers crossed!)
We are planning a local exhibit of all of our Scholastic winners in the LCR for the month of March.
If you see any of these students, be sure to congratulate them!
