@Pentatonix123 Congratulations!
@Pentatonix123 CONGRATS!!!
@Kingtape I’d gently punch a wall if I don’t get anything. I’d suggest not shooting yourself in the foot though, since that’s what you said you did already with the avant-garde postmodernism.
I’d suggest keeping at least one good foot. :)>-
I say that Scholastic is probably rigged if you don’t get at least 1 silver. Hoping for the best when it comes to everyone who hasn’t gotten their results yet!
Can’t believe there’s another 10 days until this stuff comes out… argh
Just give me my 2 silvers and 1 HM and get it over with dammit >:(
I’m already 80% sure what I’ll get (p low chance for gold; didn’t go for the Scholastic aesthetic, sadly), but having that slight uncertainty is still painful
GL y’all!
I was convinced I didn’t get anything when I didn’t receive an email on Friday. As it turns out the results went to my teacher! She just sent them to me and I’m so happy with my results. 4 gold keys, 2 silver keys, an honorable mention, and an American Voices Nomination. I worked really hard on my pieces, so I’m glad something came out of it! Good luck to everyone still waiting!
Is anyone from the DMV area? When do results come out?
@musicer16 OMG CONGRATS! 4 GOLD KEYS ANNDDD AN AMERICAN VOICES NOMINATION!? THAT’S AMAZING!!! 
How many pieces did you send it!? And I’m what categories!?
@musicer16 Wow!! Congratulations, those results are absolutely phenomenal. You should be really proud 
@musicer16 holy!!!
That’s insane. That’s absolutely insane. Nice job!! You clearly have a lot of hard work + talent
Logged back in and freaked out when I saw this friend… I have to wait nine more days ? but pm me if you want to exchange submissions bc I’m having a bit of anxiety pre-awards
Congrats to everyone who’s won so far! And to those who think they won’t get anything, last year I submitted an article on a whim and even I knew it wasn’t that great but I still won a gold key! So don’t give up hope yet ?
@Lunarlitgend I submitted 8 pieces, 7 poetry and 1 personal essay. It’s funny because I consider myself a poet, and the personal essay was relatively last minute compared to all the other poems, but it’s the one that got the American Voices Nomination.
Looking for advice. S19 just got an honorable mention for his painting. Is it even worth updating colleges? He sent all schools a portfolio but he’s not planning on majoring in art. Seems like there are probably a LOT of honorable mentions but i can’t seem to find a full list of winners, just the ones from our high school. Anyone think he should bother? How many golds, silvers, and honorable mentions are typical for a region in the art category?
@Kingtape @beautifulchaos Thanks y’all!
@musicer16 That’s amazing!! I’m NOO poet. I’m an absolute Fiction writer. (I wish I was a poet though 
) I only submitted 3 short stories. I initially wanted to submit 5, but #ACTPrep got in the way and the quality was just not that great so I only wrote 3 and the quality was much better. I wished I could submit more but I just decided to go with it. I’m not expecting gold keys for all my pieces. So I’ll celebrate if I just get 1/3 then
Now S19 is saying everyone who enters gets an honorable mention. Anyone know if that’s true?
@Lunarlitgend I wish I could write fiction, besides quality is definitely more important than quantity. I only submitted that many because I was building up my portfolio for months, including time spent at a 2 week writing camp.
@homerdog Definitely not true. About 5-7% of regional submissions win gold keys, 10-15% get silver keys, and 20-30% get honorable mentions. In regards to whether or not your son should send it to colleges, I’d say yes, why not? An extra award–no matter how seemingly “small”–certainly won’t hurt his application. Hope this helped, and good luck to your son!
@musicer16 LOL true! And your hard work definitely paid off!!
hey everyone, just wanted to say hi since I haven’t posted on this thread yet. congratulations to everyone who has won so far and good luck to everyone who’s still waiting! I submitted 6 short stories and im hoping to get at least 2 gold keys…idk though, that might be too ambitious. anyway best of luck to everyone
