Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2017-2018

I just now made an account to wish everyone good luck! I got two gold keys myself, and I’m just as nervous to see the results in a few hours.

@Cortexual LOL Thank you! You too! I keep checking my account to check for any updates I swear this is like the tenth time I’ve checked and nothing yet :smiley:

@Lunarlitgend Same, dude. I’m so nervous! I had a dream last night about some kid entering the awards and not receiving a national award. Ask what THAT says about my psychological state!

National results come out today where can we see them?? Are we going to receive an email??

@pl215382 I think they come out at 12:00 EST

@pl215382 I think if you log onto your art and writing account at 12 it will tell you if you’ve won anything

Okay I’ll check at 12 so scared! @dreamthief001

I don’t even want to check, guys. I don’t want the anticipation to end. Waiting is painful but at least there’s still hope

I’m so nervous! I got 6 regional Gold Keys and I’m hoping at least one of them makes it to Nats.

Sorry, I’m lost. It comes out at 12 today?? I totally forgot that I even submitted :))

That’s hilarious, oli!
You’re a CDB Scholar, right?

Good luck to everyone!!! Wishing you all the best.

Yeah, I am, but I’m very lucky to be awarded it, because there are tons of kids who are really amazing :slight_smile:

Agreed! I’m a CDB Scholar as well: are you going to revisits soon? I’d like to meet!
PM?

Yeah!

So wait by portfolio scholarships does that mean anyone who submitted 8 works in a portfolio and got a Gold Key for it or anyone who submitted works not in a single portfolio and still got a Gold Key? I got a Gold Key for my 8-work portfolio (stressing like mad) could I be counted out if one work was less good than the others? International student, confused and nervous as heck XD

@awkwardambition If you got a Gold Key on your portfolio, it will be evaluated to potentially receive a Gold or Silver Medal. Any works outside the portfolio that got Gold Keys would be evaluated independently.

Writing/art is subjective, so I wouldn’t know if one of your works is any worse than the others. I am sure, though, that if the other seven works were amazing, it wouldn’t matter too much if one of them wasn’t as good. I guess we’ll find out in a few hours, though!

I GOT. A GOLD MEDAL

I was not awarded a National Medal, unfortunately. :frowning: But, congratulations to everyone who did!!!

omg it’s out?? congrats @pl215382 !!!

I can’t log in rn. there must be too many people trying haha
