Review of Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program in the United States identifies and recognizes talented young artists and writers. The program has a long history, dating back to 1923, and the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers administers it. The Alliance is a nonprofit organization that aims to recognize students' creative efforts across the country.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are open to students in grades 7-12, and it cover a wide range of artistic and literary categories, including:

Visual Arts: Painting, drawing, sculpture, photography, digital art, printmaking, and more.

Writing: Fiction, poetry, personal essay/memoir, critical essay, dramatic script, and more.

Students submit their work to be juried by a panel of professionals in the arts and writing fields. Entries are evaluated based on originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. Winning students receive recognition, scholarships, and opportunities for exhibition or publication of their work.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have been a significant platform for many young artists and writers, helping to launch the careers of numerous renowned authors and artists. The program celebrates young talents' achievements and encourages them to pursue their passion for the arts and literature.

Participation in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards often involves a school's art or English department facilitating the submission process for interested students. If you believe your child has a talent in art or writing, you may want to inquire at their school about the possibility of participating in this prestigious program.

To apply, the educator and student must first create an account as shown below. In my case, I also created an account as an educator as shown below.

After creating accounts for both the student and educator, as shown below, the student uploads his work on his account, finds the educator, and connects, and everything is done.

However, this competition had many technical problems. For example, in my case, I was seen as a homeschool educator and tried to make changes, but it was not possible.
