<p>So the region at large awards were announced today
I won 5 for writing and I have won 3 in the past two years but I only have one national medal thus far. </p>
<p><em>Really crossing my fingers I get some national medals this year..carnegie hall is amazing</em></p>
<p>I was wondering how prestigious/legitimate the Scholastic awards are and how impressive they are to elite colleges?</p>
<p>waait. where do you live? I entered RAL too, but I havent heard from them yet. :/</p>
<p>im guessing youve been to their awards ceremony before? Is it worth missing school and buying a plane ticket to go there? Just wondering. </p>
<p>On their website it says that are "the nation's longest-running, largest, most prestigious recognition program for creative teenagers in the visual and literary arts". I guess it is fairly prestigious to win a national award like you did. :]</p>
