The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are an important opportunity for students to be recognized for their creative talents. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
NOCCA is proud to share the news that these students have been identified by panels of creative professionals as the most talented young artists and writers in the nation. This year, 300,000 works of art and writing were submitted. Only the top 1% were recognized at the national level. These students have been invited to attend a ceremony at the world-famous Carnegie Hall on Thursday, June 11.
