Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2016-2017

@jxl637 I completely agree. One day I’ll be like “Thank god I found out about these awards so I can win” and the next day I’ll say “I have no shot but whatever”

@EKolin that is my life right now lol

Has anyone received any sort of information email yet? “More information about the award recipients list will be emailed by January 20.”

@pielovereternal I haven’t yet and I didn’t see anything new on their website or the application portal

@pielovereternal What region are you in? I think notification info varies region-to-region

@QMusic Ok phew, I was worried that maybe they only emailed winners or something.

@jxl637 I’m in the Southwest Region-At-Large :confused:

@pielovereternal I’m Southeast Region-At-Large

Results come out in a week!

Anyone know how competitive the Chicago area is? I’m a senior and I submitted in poetry, memoir, short story, and dramatic script.

@cottoncandycake this is going to sound cheesy but imo it’s more about the quality of your own work rather than that of the people around you. Although if you’re in an Alaska region, for example, it’s obviously less competitive than, say, a region-at-large. I’d say the Chicago area is decently competitive, it’s all relative though; the less submissions there are, the less awards there are, it’s all done to scale so I’d say in general, most regions are pretty equal. Good luck :slight_smile:

Should I be worried if I haven’t received a single e-mail from them since I submitted?

@EKolin When are your region’s results? I would recommend checking the “guidelines and deadlines” tab on the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards website to see how your region notifies winners; some don’t send e-mails, some do, it all depends on what region you’re in. Don’t worry though I’m sure you’ll do great :slight_smile:

@jxl637 I am from Michigan. I believe results come out February 3rd. Are there any e-mails sent before then?

@EKolin If you’re from the “West Central Michigan Region,” then the results are here http://www.kcad.edu/art-educators/scholastic-art-awards/. If you’re from another part of Michigan, then you’re probably part of the “Midwest Region at Large” and the results will be posted in early February at this website belinblank.org/scholastic. Therefore you shouldn’t worry about receiving any e-mails beforehand. Hope that helps :slight_smile:

@jxl637 Yes I believe I am part of the “Midwest Region at Large”. I was just worried that I was supposed to receive a confirmation e-mail that everything was submitted or something

Five days left till results for Eastern Region at Large. OMG. I keep getting paranoid that my submission ticket didn’t get received.

@ssn365 Same! I’m super paranoid that I mailed the forms to the wrong address, or the online payment didn’t go through or something… I probably won’t stop worrying until the results come out

The Chicago area is supposed to have results by late January, has anyone in the CAWP heard back yet?

@cottoncandycake The Chicago region’s website says that winners will be notified by early February, and their teachers will be sent an e-mail as well. Hope that helps.

@jxl637 , I just checked CAWP’s website and it says “regional winners will be notified in late January” so I’m a little nervous that I haven’t heard from them yet
