<p>I entered art, and I don’t take art class. I just know the art teacher well enough that she signed it for me.</p>

And a Cetificate on a cross hatching of a statue.</p>
<p>I still haven’t heard anything – hopefully that doesn’t mean I didnt get any award!</p>
<p>the regional museum that you sumbitted your piece to should have a gallery showing of all the pieces…</p>
<p>Just wondering, is there any additional benefit to winning a gold key for a portfolio? Like any scholarships?</p>
<p>esgee- yes if you win a gold key for a portfolio in the National division and are a senior you may win scholarship money.</p>
<p>^Cool, thanks!</p>
<p>^There is a difference between a Gold Key and a Gold Award, though. Gold Keys are regional while Gold Awards are national. Gold Award winners receive a scholarship from Scholastic (I think it’s $10,000?) but there are only four or five of them out of all of the entries.</p>
<p>I got an American Visions Award Nominee. Do you know how many from all nominees are chosen at NYC?</p>
<p>Entering for novel and just finishing it up. I doubt I’ll get any kind of recognition, but it’s been fun to write. =)</p>
<p>my teacher got a letter from scholastic today-- apparently i won a gold key for WRAL for a short story and for my fiction portfolio. </p>
<p>other RAL writers-- check with your teachers to see if theyve gotten anything. I haven’t received anything in the mail just yet from scholastic, but I guess they’re sending stuff out to the teachers right now??</p>
<p>Good luck to all of you</p>
<p>^Congrats! Yeah, that’s how I remember it happening. My teacher got her packet before I got mine.</p>
<p>ahh ca- CONGRATULATIONS! i also entered into the WRAL but haven’t heard anything yet. i’m getting a little nervous about it… :(</p>
<p>i entered a general writing portfolio, an essay, a collection of poetry, and two short stories. </p>
<p>hopefully texas just gets mail later? maybe?</p>
<p>anyone else out there recognized for the WRAL?</p>
<p>I’m from WRAL and apparently I won something for screenplay… though my teacher didn’t tell me what I got… he wants me to be “surprised” when I get the mail… do they only contact teachers for gold key or for everything? (silver key, honorable mention, etc.)</p>
<p>Congrats on your WRAL notifications, everyone! </p>
<p>Still working on that novel. Having a hard time deciding on a stopping point. My limit is 50 pages, but I may have to move some chapters around in my outline to make a better impact on judges. I don’t know. It’s bothering me.</p>
<p>congrats CA and vanillasky. wow, your teachers got notified rather quickly;i heard notifications usually arrived mid march or so.</p>
<p>hey guys, congrats to all! still waiting.</p>
<p>My D did this all on her own, and our district had never even heard of it. So she didn’t have a teacher to help her. She did put one down though–hope the teacher contacts her if they hear anything.</p>
<p>@vanillasky: Many teachers do Scholastic as a class project, and have dozens of students who enter, so they each get a list of the results of all of their students combined, including silver keys, etc.</p>
<p>RAL (Long Island) teachers are getting notification now, but in the letter it says that students won’t get notification until “late March”.
Also, weird, I think they might have put my submission in a different category for me.
Congrats to everybody!</p>
