YEARBOOK 2020

2020 SCHOL A STIC ART & WRITING AWARDS YE ARBOOK 1

Welcome to the 2020 Scholastic Art & Writing AwardsThis yearbook celebrates the creative accomplishments of exceptional teens whose works received National Medals in this year’s Awards. Our National Medalists are part of a tradition that dates back to 1923—one focused on recognizing young people who represent the future of American art and letters.

On behalf of the entire Awards family, we congratulate all of this year’s Medalists. We would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary educators and supportive family members who have helped to nurture the voices and visions expressed in this year’s national award–winning work.

From their founding, the Awards have grown to become the country’s largest, longest-running, and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens. This is possible only because of our dedicated Affiliate partners, which oversee more than 100 regional programs across the nation; our expert jurors at both the regional and the national level; and our generous supporters. And of course, none of our programs would exist without the leadership of our Board of Directors and the yearlong efforts of our exceptional staff. We are grateful to this extraordinary community for all they do to support our shared mission.

Dr. Hugh Roome Chairman of the Board Alliance for Young Artists & Writers

Our Programs



National Student Poets ProgramFive outstanding poets are chosen from among Scholastic Art & Writing Awards National Poetry Medalists to serve as the U.S. National Student Poets, the nation’s highest honor for youth poets presenting original work. These poets, whose works exhibit exceptional creativity, dedication to craft, and promise, serve for a year as youth poetry ambassadors, leading readings and workshops at diverse locations and carrying out intensive community service projects.

This Program, which celebrated its eighth Class in 2019 during an Appointment Ceremony led by special guest U.S. Poet Laureate Joy Harjo, is a partnership between the Institute of Museum and Library Services and the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. National Student Poets are selected by an esteemed jury of literary luminaries and leaders in education in the arts. For more information, go to artandwriting.org/NSPP.

Programs

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards elevate teen voices and visions. Through our exhibitions, publications, and workshops, we provide teens with the support and encouragement they need to be lifelong creators. We also offer grants and residency opportunities for alumni of the Awards working on creative projects, and we provide educators with opportunities for recognition, cash awards, and participation in artist’s or writer’s residencies.

RecognitionCreative teens may earn regional and national certificates of achievement, Gold Key and Silver Key pins, and Gold and Silver Medals. We celebrate more than 83,000 talented teens at more than a hundred local awards ceremonies across the country and at our National Ceremony.

In past years, the National Ceremony was held at Carnegie Hall in New York City. In 2020, due to the hiatus on programming at Carnegie Hall, we hosted a virtual celebration of all the National Medalists, opening up the National Ceremony to viewers across the nation and around the world.

For many teens, the recognition they receive from the Awards is life-changing—it shows them that their creative works are important and worth sharing, setting many of them on paths toward pursuing careers in the arts.

ExhibitionsThe virtual exhibition, Art.Write.Now.2020 National Exhibition, showcases art and writing from the Gold and Silver Medalists of the 2020 Scholastic Awards. Like the virtual National Ceremony, the virtual exhibition brings the best of teen creativity into people’s homes across the nation, making the work accessible to thousands of viewers.

The Art.Write.Now.Tour comprises a curated selection of works that travels the country, making stops at museums, libraries, and galleries to bring the best of the Scholastic Awards to all corners of the U.S. The Tour features works by students in host cities and includes engaging programming such as workshops, film screenings, student readings, and school group visits.

Art.Write.Now.DC, at the U.S. Department of Education in Washington, D.C., features another curated selection of National Medal works that are prominently displayed for a full year. These works are meant to inspire the federal staff, educators, and policymakers who pass through daily.

PublicationsSeeing their art and writing published is a monumental event for teens. It reinforces the idea that their voices and visions have value, and that they should not be afraid to share their points of view with the world. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards began as a writing contest in The Scholastic magazine, where works that received top awards were published. Since


then, student art and writing from the Scholastic Awards have graced the pages of numerous publications, such as The Best Young Writers & Artists in America (PUSH), Scope magazine, Junior Scholastic magazine, Scholastic Art magazine, New York Times Upfront magazine, and the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards’ National Catalog. Beginning in 2010, works receiving recognition at the national level have been featured on the Scholastic Awards website in our Online Galleries.

Our current publications The Best Teen Art and The Best Teen Writing include select student works that received our highest honors. Both publications are distributed free of charge to schools, libraries, youth programs, and arts and educational organizations nationwide. In addition to these books, we publish a chapbook that features the top works of poetry by teens who have been appointed to the National Student Poets Program, the country’s highest honor for youth poets presenting original work.

ScholarshipsThrough the Scholastic Awards, creative teens have access to hundreds of thousands of dollars in scholarships. Annually, the Awards offer students more than $300,000 in direct scholarships. We also partner with colleges and universities nationwide to earmark additional scholarships for college-bound recipients. During the summer, the Awards partner with dozens of organizations, colleges, and universities across the country to provide scholarships for Scholastic Awards students to attend creative summer programs. Additionally, students who are appointed National Student Poets each receive $5,000 scholarships at the end of their year of service.

WorkshopsIt is important to the Scholastic Awards to encourage and inspire teens to continue creating throughout the year. The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers works with partners across the country to present workshops led by professional artists and writers. These include workshops on editorial cartooning, sponsored by The Herb Block Foundation; workshops focused on climate change, sponsored in part by the Salamander Fund of the Triangle Community Foundation; and workshops addressing grief and promoting healing through the arts, sponsored by the New York Life Foundation. We also host creative writing workshops for teens and educators attending events such as the NAACP ACT-SO national competition and the annual National Indian Education Association conference. The Alliance hosted 20 creative workshops in 2019, reaching nearly 675 students and educators.

Alumni EngagementEven after high school, alumni of the Scholastic Awards are eligible for unique opportunities. The Alumni Microgrant Program provides monetary grants in support of projects in any field of creative inquiry. A Suite of One’s Own, our alumni writers’ residency, provides time and space to two writers to further their work, with a five-night stay at The Roosevelt Hotel in New York City.

Educator Resources and OpportunitiesEducators are honored alongside their students at local celebrations and at the annual National Ceremony. They are given Certificates of Recognition and also have the chance to receive cash awards. Educators of regional Gold and Silver Key recipients are given pins during their local ceremonies, and those of National Medalists receive Gold and Silver Medals alongside their students.

The Alliance partners with leaders in the education field to create guides featuring student art and writing that help educators facilitate discussions in their classrooms and provide critical-thinking activities.

Through our partnership with Golden Artist Colors, three educators whose students were recognized by the Scholastic Awards have the chance to participate in the two-week GOLDEN Educators Residency in a sylvan setting in upstate New York.

Additionally, the Writer’s Retreat for Educators brings two educators to the Southeastern Louisiana Writing Project’s annual New Orleans Writing Marathon, where they have the opportunity to write about anything they want, without criticism or evaluation, and interact with other educators and writers.

Affiliate Partners Recognizing young artists and writers begins with the Alliance’s Affiliate Partners, which administer art and writing regions across the country. They are responsible for bringing the Awards to local communities, educators, and students. Affiliates also work closely with local funders and universities to provide scholarship opportunities for top recipients. It is because of our Affiliate Partners’ extraordinary dedication that the Scholastic Awards have been able to reach so many participants and provide additional opportunities to creative teenagers across the country.
