ARTS SPOTLIGHT: Scholastic Art and Writing Awards

On Saturday, January 28th, Kent State University at Stark honored all gold and silver key winners in the Ohio Northeast Central region for the Scholastic Art and Writing competition.

This year marks the 100th year celebration for the Scholastic Art and Writing competition which is offered to 7-12 grade art & writing students from across our country! At the regional awards ceremony, students are recognized for their gold and silver key achievements, as well as given additional scholarships and awards.

The American Vision Nominee award is given to five students who display “Best of Show” works within the six county region. This year, GlenOak student Aliyah Priest was awarded this incredible honor! The five American Vision nominees’ work will later be adjudicated by the Scholastics New York affiliate who will select the #1 Best in Show for our region. Should Aliyah Priest’s work be selected as #1 for our region, she will be invited to attend the National Scholastic Exhibition in New York City! Best of luck to Aliyah!

In total, GlenOak High School students in the Visual Arts Department accumulated 47 total awards with 21 of those being featured in the exhibition for their gold and silver key honors!
