Art & Writing Awards

"We can say for certain then that a program like [The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards] doesn't just honor artists. It creates them. It nurtures them. It gives them permission to shine brighter, to think differently, to be bolder."

— Jennifer Garner

Background

What are the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards?

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards recognize student achievement in the visual and literary arts in 28 categories, including architecture, painting, flash fiction, poetry, printmaking, fashion design, Expanded Projects, and more.
Since the program's founding in 1923, the Awards have fostered the creativity and talent of millions of students, including renowned alumni who have gone on to become leaders in their fields, including Tschabalala Self, Stephen King, Kay WalkingStick, Charles White, Joyce Carol Oates, and Andy Warhol.
An Award signifies to parents, teachers, the community and colleges that a student is an accomplished artist or writer.
The Awards offer opportunities for creative teens to earn recognition, exhibition, publication and scholarships.
In the 2021 program year, 16 high school seniors received the Gold Medal Portfolio, which includes a $10,000 scholarship.
Each work of art and writing is blindly adjudicated, first locally through the more than 100 affiliates of the Alliance, and then nationally by panels of judges comprised of renowned artists, authors, educators and industry experts.
Works are judged on originality, technical skill, and emergence of personal vision or voice.

What is The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers?

The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers is the national nonprofit organization that presents the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards and provides additional opportunities for creative teens to be recognized for their talents and to earn scholarships for their education.
The Alliance's mission is to identify teenagers with exceptional artistic and literary talent and bring their remarkable work to a national audience.
