Ever wonder how we find the student artists we feature? They all have one thing in common: They’ve been recognized with a Scholastic Art & Writing Award. Since 1923, this program has honored the nation’s most talented teen artists and writers.

Get creative this summer! Entries for the 2022 Scholastic Awards open on September 1, 2021. Deadlines vary between December 2021 and January 2022, depending on your region. Then luminaries in the visual or literary arts will review your work. If selected, your work might be published or exhibited in New York City—plus you’ll be eligible for scholarships worth up to $10,000.
