Greene County Students Receive Awards for Art & Writing

Greene County students received more than 20 awards for their art and writing submissions in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The awards recognize student achievement in the visual and literary arts in 29 categories, including editorial cartoon, poetry, graphic design, fashion, science fiction, video game design and more. Since the program’s founding in 1923, the awards have fostered the creativity and talent of millions of students, including renowned alumni who have gone on to become leaders in their fields, including Andy Warhol, Truman Capote, and Stephen King. An award signifies to parents, teachers, the community and colleges that a student is an accomplished artist or writer and offer opportunities for creative teens to earn recognition, exhibition, publication and scholarships.

Works are judged on originality, technical skill, and emergence of personal vision or voice.
