Scholastic Art and Writing 2017
For 93 years, the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards have recognized the exceptional vision of our nation’s youth. Established in 1923, by Scholastic, Inc. founder Maurice R. Robinson, the Scholastic Awards have grown to become the nation’s highest honor and largest source of scholarships for creative teens. Through a nationwide partner network of more than 100 Affiliates, the 2016 Awards received nearly 320,000 submissions spanning 29 categories of art and writing. The School of the Museum of Fine Arts in conjunction with the Boston Globe, is the Regional Affiliate for the State of Massachusetts.
Students are encouraged by their educators, both in schools and through out-of-school programs, to submit their original work. All students in grades 7 through 12, whether in public, private, or home schools, can apply. Submissions are juried 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 the following students of NMS for successfully entering their works into this notable contest!
Taygen Ambrose, Clara Anderson, Caroline Conley, Kayla Faria, Benjamin Medeiros, Leanne Melendy, Adam Montross, and Skye Myers.
