*January-March ART AND WRITING

The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards honor students currently enrolled in grades 7-12, recognizing about 50,000 regional winners. Nationally, 1,000 students’ individual works receive Pinnacle, Gold, or Silver awards in each of 16 art and eight writing categories. High school seniors may also submit a body of works of art or writing for Portfolio Awards. In June, national award recipients are honored at a ceremony at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., and the Corcoran Gallery of Art displays selected winning art. The awards annually bestow nearly $250,000 in cash on the national and regional levels. In addition, seniors who submit portfolios compete for scholarships totaling $1.5 million from more than 40 supporting institutions and organizations. Deadlines vary depending on regions; all entry information is available online.
