Scholastic Art Awards is the largest nationwide and longest running competition for junior and high school students in our country (approximately 98 years). It has gotten more selective and more prestigious over the years and the students that are have work selected to be entered, even if not chosen for an award, should be extremely proud of doing such high quality work. There are three levels of awards: Gold Key, Silver Key, and Honorable Mention. The Gold Key winners will be sent to compete at the national level in New York City. Recognition at the national level usually brings with it many scholarship offers as well as tremendous honors.

All three levels will be displayed at a public exhibition in the Warner Gallery at the South Bend Museum of Art in the Century Center from Feb. 6-March 13. The awards presentation for the winners and their families will be Feb. 7 at 2:30 p.m. (junior high presentation is at 1:30). The Awards Ceremony will be Virtual this year. All winning students and their families should attend this celebration to honor them. Even though the awards ceremony will be virtual this year, the Scholastic exhibit displays some of the finest artwork you will see from junior and high school students.
