Question:

Has anyone heard of Scholastic Art Awards?

My brother has won the Vision award and is going to nationals in New York. What can you tell me about the competition at the national level?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker:

Yes, I've won some of the Scholastic Art Awards regionally and one of my close friends went to Nationals in New York last year. The nationals are very tough, especially if the award is for his whole portfolio. I cannot stress enough that there is a lot of tough competition. The important thing to remember is to just be thankful to be there and that no matter what the judges decision on your piece(s) is you should remember that it's just their opinions-not the worlds.

The nationals provides a sort of celebratory event to honor the winning students-the opening reception of the juried show is extravagent and fun.

Good luck to your brother!!
