2012 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards

<p>@heartist, i feel as if it wouldn’t really be worth going to, since i’m so far up north and i have an AP chem test on friday. isn’t scholastic posting a list of all the regional gold key winners on Feb. 7th, anyway? my friends in los angeles are going, though.</p>

<p>^Likewise! I’m from the Bay Area…ish, and skipping school to drive 6 hours there (then back!) doesn’t seem feasible. </p>

<p>Do you know where we can find the link to the regional Gold Key winners on the 7th? I never knew that before! :O</p>

<p>February 8th*. The Scholastic Art and Writing Facebook page says so: “All REGIONAL GOLD KEY AWARD WINNERS winners from across the country will be posted on the Alliance’s website on Wednesday, February 8.”</p>

<p>@instantraemen, thank you!:slight_smile:
but hippieOtter posted that all art winners outside of LA have been notified…</p>

<p>I got my results yesterday (they were emailed out when I was at a debate tournament) I got honorable mention for my journalism articl e</p>

<p>congrats zombiedante! :D</p>

<p>Question: I won Gold key for art but it was kind of weird because I didn’t get an email on the day they sent them out but when I checked online, I saw my name/school/etc and got a general email bout mailing it in and stuff that day at like 12 AM. But I was wondering if in the email (about your specific work that won/telling you that you got something) said “you won!” or something (I dont know since I didnt get it) or it said something about attending an awards ceremony or something that is mentioned online. Also, do you get notified by email if you get a national award? It said that a packet comes to your house but it didn’t say when and the online website said that you need to reply within a week of getting the package. Seeing how the emailing and stuff went I’m kinda paranoid about this process… But yeah I’m wondering just in case.</p>

<p>My D got a gold key for writing portfolio in the DC region, as well as another gold key for poetry, as well as a silver key and a couple of honorable mentions.</p>

<p>Congrats to everyone who got an award! I live in NYC and I still haven’t heard back from them yet-does this mean that I lost? Who else here is from the NYC area and heard back? Today my teacher gave me this card thing from a different award thing i applied to. It was from Creative Communication and they wanted me to have one of my poems published in their book, so, of course, I let them. But I really want Scholastic to give me an award as well! </p>

<p>I have another question: If i don’t get it this year, could I use the same works (and maybe add some more) and submit it next year when I’ll be a junior?</p>

<p>I’m in the california bay area and just heard back from Scholastic.</p>

<p>5 Gold keys for painting/drawings
1 Gold key for art portfolio :D</p>

<p>The scholastic people say it’s OK to resubmit pieces, but they recommend you do something different and change up or update your piece a bit… because if it didn’t win this year, chances are it won’t win next year if you don’t change anything. Good luck!</p>

<p>Hey qtpiginger. I’m also from nyc and i emailed the guy in charge of our region and he said that they would be sending out notifications by email to winners of awards this wednesday. Only two more days</p>

<p>@ ViTong4
Thanks for the advice! I’ll make sure that I’ll change up my entries next year. :)</p>

<p>@andros12
Good to know. I got scared for a sec there b/c everyone got their awards so I thought I had zero chance of getting it. I’ll be crossing my fingers for the next two days. But, then again, there’s always next year (until I graduate).</p>

<p>Where do you check to see if you’ve won?</p>

<p>@reach4thesky </p>

<p>I just got an email o - o it doesn’t show anything on my Scholastic account</p>

<p>^ViTong: that’s freaking amazing! asdfhjkglsj;; Congrats!!! </p>

<p>Definitely the best haul of awards I’ve read on CollegeConfidential (and yes, I did lurk on past years’ threads :D)</p>

<p>@ViTong4 Bay Area as well, but I didnt get any notification yet. They said they were going to email back today, but…</p>

<p>I was wondering why I didn’t receive anything, and I think I submitted to the wrong place. I sent my short stories to “557 Broadway, New York, NY 10012” instead.</p>

<p>Ugh, how could I have messed that up?</p>

<p>Hey y’all, the Scholastic A&W facebook page says all regional Gold Key winners will be posted on the website on February 8th…</p>

<p>Does anyone know if it’ll be midnight EST? :3</p>

<p>^No most likely 5 EST</p>

<p>What is the exact website the awards will be posted on tomorrow?</p>

<p>I cannot seem to locate any information anywhere!</p>
