How do I enter work in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards?
Sign Up!
The 2017 Scholastic Awards opened on September 14, 2016, and
deadlines vary by region. You can participate in the 2017 Scholastic Awards by
creating an account and uploading your work when submissions open in September.
Create!
The Scholastic Awards look for work that demonstrates technical
skill, personal voice or vision, and originality. After you have created
your work, uploaded it to your Scholastic Awards Account! Visit our
online galleries to see examples of works from past National Medalists.
Stamp It and Send It!
After uploading your work, print your submission forms, have a
parent/guardian and an educator sign them, and then mail them to the
Affiliate Partner in your local region. Mailing instructions can be
found on the submission form or on your local
Affiliate’s Website.

Blind Judging
The Scholastic Awards are adjudicated without knowledge of the
artists/writers identity. Please make sure that your submission does not
contain any personal information.
Freedom of Expression
Young artists and writers are free to explore any and all topics.
There are no pre-defined prompts and no work is ever disqualified from
the Scholastic Awards because of the nature of its content.
Judging Criteria
Originality
Work that breaks from convention, blurs the boundaries between
genres, and challenges notions of how a particular concept or emotion
can be expressed.
Technical Skill
Work that uses technique to advance an original perspective or a
personal vision or voice, and show skills being utilized to create
something unique, powerful, and innovative.
Emergence of a Personal Vision or Voice
Work with an authentic and unique point of view and style.
For which part of your profile do you need your teacher's name? I don't see it. Is it only when you upload something that you need your teacher's name?
ReplyDeleteI am not sure because I can't access student's accounts. Maybe you need my name when you upload. Let's double check when you upload your art. Thank you for checking.
