Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Selects NOCCA Students As Regional Winners
Regional Gold Key, Silver Key & Best In Grade Nominees
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are an important opportunity for students to be recognized for their creative talents. Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual and literary-arts focused organizations across the country to bring The Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
Many NOCCA Creative Writing students have been selected as regional winners and will be recognized during an awards ceremony at the University of New Orleans later this month.
