Students must be enrolled in:

•Grades 7 – 12.
•A public, private, parochial, home-school or after school program.
•The U.S., Canada, or in an American school abroad.

Students submit their works to regional programs of The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers and its Regional Affiliates. Students can earn opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication and scholarships.

Across the country, more than 165,000 works will be reviewed by our panels of arts professionals. More than 50,000 students will earn Honorable Mention, Silver Keys and Gold Keys in regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2011. Works designated as Gold Keys will be forwarded for national-level review in February 2011.

How the work is judged.
There are three things that haven’t changed about The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards and its judging process since 1923:

•Blind Judging: Our jurors do not know the identities of students who submit work to The Awards.
•Freedom of Expression: No work will be disqualified on the basis of its content.
•The Criteria: Originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal vision or voice.
