2008 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards!

<p>Yay ! <em>high five</em> teenage_cliche :slight_smile:
I tend to write more poetry [mostly free verse] and sometimes short stories. I find that I do not have enough patience to write longer essays and novellas.</p>

<p>This sucks because I hate my English teacher, whom I might add does not teach.</p>

<p>Anyone know the purpose of getting your English teacher to sign? What do they get out of it? Does anyone know if you can get someone else to sign?
Thanks</p>

<p>You might as well have your teacher sign it…other than being slightly inconvenienced by having to sign two forms, they don’t have to do anything else. </p>

<p>I think they do notify your teacher if you win anything, although I’m not entirely sure.</p>

<p>^They did notify them last year, yeah.</p>

<p>1) for Region at Large, everything has to be submitted on a CD-ROM so for like Apparel design, you just take a photo of the piece? One photo or more than one? ona model or on a hanger? and what do you write where it asks you for ā€œdimensions?ā€
2) If the deadline is the 11th by when should you mail it?</p>

<p>It needs to be postmarked by the 11th, so you can send it on the 11th, but I’d go to the post office to make sure of the date.</p>

<p>wait, can u send it on ur own…and not by the consent of ur teacher? and if so, when’s the deadline? b/c @ school, it’s due monday and u have to give it in to ur teacher</p>

<p>I submitted a personal essay for Region-at-Large. How competitive/difficult is it to just get the lowest honor?</p>

<p>what’s the link to submit something for this?</p>

<p>

<p>[It’s in the Guidelines]</p>

<p>Question: If I’m submitting more than one piece in a category (poetry), do I register both at the same time? The online registration asks for a Submission Title, but I’m not sure which title to put…I’m not making much sense, am I?</p>

<p>ok so i just found this today and decided to do this today, and tomorrow i have to ask my lit teacher for a rec on my writing. how do i go about this?
what does he have to do exactly. my comp wont let me open the thing on the website. this would be MUCH appreciate. thank you!</p>

<p>You need a rec? What?</p>

<p>@laugh-cry-smile: You register them all as one collection, up to three poems, and you can only submit one collection. I put the title as Poem 1 Title; Poem 2 Title; Poem 3 Title.</p>

<p>@eskimo208: Your teacher just has to sign the form. No rec.</p>

<p>Just read the guidelines; they explain everything really well.</p>

<p>Mflevity, I’m writing one 195-line poem (with some prose-poetry, but still under the same idea). What are the rules for that? I’m really unfamiliar with poetry.</p>

<p>Recommendation is needed for portfolios.</p>
