SCHOLASTIC AWARDS Founded in 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens. This year, Collegiate had an unprecedented 53 awards in the art category, including 16 Gold Keys. Ten awards were received in the writing category, including three Gold Keys and an American Visions Nomination. Through the Scholastic Awards, students receive opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication and scholarships. Students across America submitted original works in the categories of art and writing. In March, Collegiate School Sophomore Nat Lurie received, at the national level, a Gold Medal and an American Voices Medal for the short story, “The Mother.” The American Voices Medal is one of the highest honors presented to a writer by the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. Only one writer from each region is presented with this award each year. Works are judged on originality, technical skill and the emergence of personal voice or vision.
