I got all confused. I thought there are only 6 regions in total. So why I see people talking about Awards from Connecticut region, Awards from Massachusetts region. Aren’t those all belong to the same region as NorthEast Region? Scholastic is a great organization but it didn’t offer too much details on what exactly is the Award. For example, how many people participated in each category in each region; how many people receive awards in each category, etc.
I got 2 gold keys, 2 silver keys, and an honorable mention for my writing portfolio! Congratulations to everyone!

a gold key qualifies that piece for nationals. so congrats!
did you guys get emails too/requests to record stuff? because the only thing that happened for me is that my portal got updated. also how do you know if you’re best in your grade at regionals? i thought that was only a nationals thing?

ooh thanks! That makes a lot more sense now.
Nope! I didn’t get that – btw does your region have a list of all winners?
my region was posted on jan. 8th, but i got the official results today. they made a mistake on the regional list for me so just make sure that everything checks out!
Cool! My region (MA) hasn’t released it yet so I’m just curious
Hey all, do you know if we can make an edit to gold key submissions before national judging? I noticed a small typo and was wondering if I would be able to fix it.
Is an Honorable Mention worth mentioning on a college app?
I noticed a typo in mine too! I checked last year’s forum and it looks like that won’t hurt us… people won and had small typos in their submission, so it should be fine. But I think you can try contacting the Scholastic email to ask?
Yeah I got a gold key art portfolio!

For people asking about how many gold keys win national awards, according to this website, Teens Nationwide Receive Top Honors in the 2020 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, about 18,000 people are awarded with gold keys and about 2900 receive national awards, so ~16%.

Hey, is anybody having a problem with awards disappearing in the portal? Both my Gold Keys were removed from my dash and my notification letter. (Silvery Key and American Voice Nomination are still appearing…)
hey <3 my results were released around a month ago. I’m a junior this year and i entered in the critical essay and got an honorable mention 
im kinda sad because last year i got a gold key (my first year entering last year) and i procrastinated A LOT working on my entry.
