绿帽社's Upper School students entered this year's annual Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Competition and both visual artists and creative writers received an impressive response at the regional level.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated each year since 1923. An increasing numbers of teens participate in the program and become a part of this community—young artists and writers, filmmakers and photographers, poets and sculptors, video game artists and science fiction writers—along with countless educators who support and encourage the creative process.
绿帽社's talented students show passion and elevated standards in the work they submitted this year. Current awards here have been give for our Western region, which includes Alaska, Montana, Utah, Wyoming, Oregon, and Washington. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards—the oldest and most prestigious program of its kind in the country—gives Gold Key, Silver Key and Honorable Mentions. All Gold Key winners advance to the National competition; those results will be announced in mid-March. Seniors whose portfolios win the top National award receive a $10,000 scholarship.
One of our students, Arvind M. ’20 won the prestigious American Visions Medal. The American Visions Medals is the highest regional honors given to one artist from each region as a non-financial highest regional honor selected by local judges as American Visions nominees, who are then celebrated in local exhibitions and ceremonies. These Medalists are celebrated during National Events and at the National Exhibition in New York City. Congratulations to Arvind, this is an incredible honor.
