@jxl637 yeah, you’re right! Thanks so much for the encouragement <3
I got a silver medal with distinction for my senior writing portfolio–I’m really surprised and excited! Psyched for the $1000 scholarship and hope to see other national medal winners at Carnegie Hall this June 
Medal or no medal, congrats to everyone to even making it past the first round and getting a gold key, you should all be SUPER proud regardless
@hashslingingslasher ahh congrats!
@codingbat thanks for the tip, and enjoy your medal you deserve it!
Got a silver medal for my humor piece! I was hoping for a gold but this is my first time entering any sort of final writing competition so I’m not disappointed at all, I’m still pretty psyched!
Do I get to go to Carnegie or is that just for gold medalists and such?
Congratulations and well done to everyone who entered, regardless of whether or not you won anything, there’s always next year after all. 
Congrats to everyone who competed!
Is there any way to get a price reduction on the plane ticket or hotel costs for the Carnegie Hall Ceremony? I won a gold medal would love to go but it’s pretty pricey 
i won a silver medal in painting, really wanting to go to carnegie but t the same time now i don’t have to go haha
@ArtistNatureLove can silver medalists go to carnegie to recieve their medals or is it just the golds?
@nephisto i think it’s just the golds but the website is so unclear about that…
@nephisto did you get a silver in art or writing
Aww, look, the new wave of people!
Congrats! ^^
@ArtistNatureLove writing
you’re right, the website is really unclear
the way i read it is that if you’re a gold medalist/won one of those special awards, you get a free ticket or something, but it didn’t look like it was excluding other medalists from coming
and, unless you won a portfolio award or something you wouldnt get to walk across the stage anyway. it says that gold medalists etc can get their medals at the ceremony, but it doesnt say anything about anyone else, like if i go there can i get my medal too instead of having it be mailed to me?
confused lmao
Only Gold Medal, Silver Medals with Distinction, and special awards get to go to Carnegie Hall. I don’t think anyone gets free flight; I am sure, at least, that medalists for individual pieces do not.
Does anyone know if there is a minimum age for summer program scholarships? I know the deadline has passed, but my little sister is wondering for next year.
@allyxyz grades 7-11
@allyxyz Yep, grades 7-11 for those who earned a silver or gold key at regionals.
