The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers invites creative teenagers to submit their best
works of visual art and writing to The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2009! Each year more
than 100,000 works of art and writing are submitted to the regional programs of The Awards,
including works made this past spring and this summer 2008.
Updated guidelines and deadlines will be available on October 1, 2008, but it's not too
early to think about preparing new works for submission. To qualify, students must be
entering grades 7 - 12 this fall. Artwork and writing created this past spring semester
and this summer at home, in summer school, and summer arts programs may be eligible for
submission to The Awards for this upcoming school year. Students graduating from high
school in 2009 are highly encouraged to begin organizing a portfolio of eight works
for scholarship consideration. To learn more, click here for category descriptions in
VISUAL ART and WRITING.

The Alliance wishes you the best in preparing for the upcoming school year. If
you would like to request a reminder email about the launch of The Scholastic Art
& Writing Awards in October, email us a&wgeneralinfo@scholastic.com.
