<p>I am a freshman in HS and one of my main ECs is art. I plan on taking AP Studio Art as a junior and I'm currently enrolled in art courses but would like to find some art competitions (state/regional/national) to show that I am really interested in art. Does anyone know of any major art contests for HS students? The type of media doesn't really matter (draw/paint/ink/etc.) Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>Scholastic Art and Writing Awards are really prestigious/major: <a href=“http://www.artandwriting.org/[/url]”>http://www.artandwriting.org/</a></p>
<p>You could also try getting your work exhibited in a local gallery, or at the bank or something.</p>
<p>Thanks quomodo! I have heard of that competition and will check the website out again but it seems like that one is the only ‘major’ one people talk about! (even though that’s probably not true)</p>
