<p>AAAGGHHH. This is so frustrating.</p>
<p>Maybe I should just call them. But the last time I talked someone there, she specifically said to me, "Just remember: these people are artists...following deadlines is not their strongest suit."</p>
<p>Yeah...so for now I think I've just got to count on the insanity of writers.</p>
<p>"Just remember: these people are artists...following deadlines is not their strongest suit."</p>
<p>That made me laugh... and then it made me annoyed... and then it made me laugh again =)</p>
<p>Last year I found out in mid-april I think, so it should be soon. I entered again, but I know that I didn't win nationals.</p>
<p>Well at any rate, we all have a good support group :)</p>
<p>I checked the mail today--nothing.</p>
<p>Same here, emyla.</p>
<p>How do you know, trackboyz?</p>
<p>My friend won something at national level for writing...but he only got the notify because of insider and advance information.</p>
<p>don't be discouraged, guys! last year, i won a national scholastic writing award (entered in region-at-large), and i was not notified until the last week of april!!</p>
<p>ahhh...thanks adelaide!! i didn't enter RAL, but either way, that's quite encouraging :)</p>
<p>does anyone know if there are any national winners in the state of Florida?</p>
<p>From what I know, no one has been notified yet...(in FL)</p>
<p>Oh how do you know? Just wondering.
Do you have any clue as to when anyone in FL might be notified?</p>
<p>another anomaly, in which category did you enter?</p>
<p>Ok - we need someone to call Scholastic - surely they must know if Region at Large writing has been notified. I'll call tomorrow.</p>
<p>i called yesterday, and the winners' list was still incomplete. "expect something within the next week or two," some lady told me.</p>
<p>I thought I would share some info I received from a friend at Scholastic today....The region-at-large writing awards have still not been mailed to everyone, and the national writing awards are not finished yet. So don't give up hope</p>
<p>adelaide - i won 2 regional gold keys for the humor category (writing).</p>
<p>what about you?</p>
<p>so that means the art and photography portion of the awards are done?</p>
<p>I emailed a bunch of random people in the scholastic office today to ask if they had sent out info to the winners yet (as I see many others did as well:)) and they sent me back word that I won a gold award in poetry, a silver award for my writing portfolio, and the american voices (best of region) award. so i take this as proof that if you pester them enough, they'll tell you what you want to know. good luck to everyone else!</p>
<p>Wow! Congratulations- that's great! All of this information is also very encouraging =)</p>
<p>okay i e-mailed them and they told me this:</p>
<p>"National recipients have not yet been announced this year. Those who
earn national awards will receive notification by mail in the next 2
weeks."</p>
<p>aghhhh</p>
