Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth— young artists and writers, filmmakers and photographers, poets and sculptors, video game artists and science fiction writers— and provided opportunities for creative students to be celebrated.
Hundreds of thousands of works are submitted at the regional level, with more than 2,000 public, private and home-schooled students receiving national recognition. CCES competes in the Southeast Region at Large, which extends from Washington, DC to the Caribbean. This year, we had a record number of CCES students who earned medals, including 7 Gold Key, 3 Silver Keys, and 8 Honorable Mentions. Our Gold Key winner will be entered in the National Contest.
Congratulations to the following students:
Gold Key: The very best works submitted to Region-at-Large programs. Gold Key works are automatically considered for national-level recognition.
