Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2017-2018

Wishing everyone the best! I was a regional medalist (two in poetry, one in science-fiction/fantasty) and a national medalist in my sophomore year. Unfortunately I haven’t participated since because of how hectic my life has been, but I’m rooting everyone here on :x

If you win a Scholastic Art and Writing Award, how are you contacted, through email or through the portal you submitted your work in?

@vantasonic I don’t know about all regions, but most put up their list of winners on their section of the Scholastics Art & Writing website (where you have to put in zip code). For Nationals they’ll send you an email if you’ve won to check your account or the national list.

One more week for me!! good luck everyone :))

Hey guys! For my region, the Northeast, I think results are out now! I won a gold key for one of my short stories :slight_smile: good luck to everyone!

@OneTimeAngel Congratulations, that’s amazing! I won 3 Honorable Mentions and 1 Silver Key… no Gold Keys though :frowning:

@OneTimeAngel @ssbdreamer Congrats, you two! It’s so cool that you both got awards in your region! As far as I know, nothing has been revealed for the Midwest yet. I’m crossing my fingers, and wishing luck to the other people on this forum. . . .

Congratulations, @OneTimeAngel and @ssbdreamer! Those are great results!

Where are you seeing the results for the Northeast Region at Large? I looked on the dashboard and everything looked the same. If there’s a link to a list of winners, could you post that link?

The website for the Northeast region says winners will be announced next Tuesday.

That’s what I’m seeing too, @Dancingmom518, but if @ssbdreamer and @OneTimeAngel already know their winning results, maybe there has been a change in plans. If not…I’ll wait until Tuesday at 5 PM!

I just checked the website for the Midwest region, and it says that the winners will be posted there on this Thursday. Does that mean that everyone’s already been notified, or that winners will have been notified by then? I’m stressing way too much here!

You won’t be notified by email I believe, I think they just want you to check that time when they are released.

Y’all my West-At-Large comes out tomorrow I’m literally gonna vomit

My son, age 12, won a Golden Key in the short story catagory. Does anybody know if that makes him eligible for a scholarship to a summer writing program? The regional office is not responding to my emails. Any info would be appreciated.

Gold keys in poetry and writing portfolio! Congrats to everyone!

@mistings Congrats!! Where did you see the results? I could not find it from their webpage, it says wait until 5:00pm EST

I won 13 things! I’m so happy! But fyi the awards list is on the guidelines page on the right when you scroll all the way down

I just saw that I got gold key for my critical essay. Glory be to God!
Yet, I didn’t get anything for poetry since I submitted as a collection. Learned a lesson?
How do you know if you’re a nominee for American Voices award?

@1OboeMom Yes it does make him eligible to apply

2 Gold, 6 Silver, 2 Honorable Mentions!! I’m so excited :))
