Scholastic Art and Writing Awards!
The Scholastic Art and Writing Alliance/Boston Globe
has a legacy dating back to 1923 and is the longest running, most prestigious
recognition program for creative teens in our nation.
The Alliance partners with more than 100 visual and
literacy-arts programs nationwide to bring the Awards to local communities each
year. Students in grades 7-12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for
the chance to have their works published or exhibited. The Awards are the nation’s largest source of
scholarships for young artists and writers. In just the last six years, more
than 60 top arts institutes and colleges have partnered with the Awards to make
$40 million in scholarships and financial aid available to Scholastic Award
winners. The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in conjunction with the Boston
Globe, is the Regional Affiliate for the State of Massachusetts.
Submissions are judged by a panel of noteworthy
professionals, some of whom are past award recipients. The judges look for
works that “best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of
personal voice or vision.”
Congratulations to all the NMS students for receiving
Awards of Recognition for their entries!
