The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, presented by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers, started in 1923. The awards have an impressive roster of past winners, including Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, Sylvia Plath, Robert Redford, and most recently, Amanda Gorman.
The mission of the Awards is to identify teenagers (grades 7-12, ages 13 and up) with exceptional artistic and literary talent and bring their remarkable work to a national audience.
The North Dakota state awards ceremony will take place on Saturday, March 23rd from 6:00-7:30 pm at Plains Art Museum. Students and their educators are recognized at the ceremony.
Thanks to a generous donation from John Deere, we will be awarding over $3,000 in cash prizes to the top art and writing submissions!
