According to www.artandwriting.org, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, which is presented by the nonprofit Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, “teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. In the last five years alone, students submitted nearly 900,000 original works of art and writing.”
