Rockford Public Schools: RPS 205 Students Recognized With Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

Press release from Rockford Public Schools:

February 16, 2022

The National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program recognized more than a dozen RPS 205 students.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards were founded in 1923 and have inspired bold ideas in creative teens throughout the country.

Congratulations to the following students:

The National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program was developed to establish a structure for encouraging outside-of-the-box thinkers and creators. Entries are selected for awards without knowledge of the student’s gender, age, ethnicity, or hometown by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts. Jurors look for works that exemplify the Awards’ core values: originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.  

All entries are considered for Gold Key, Silver Key, Honorable Mention, American Visions Nominee, and American Voices Nominee Awards.   

 
What's Next: National award recognition will be announced in early spring. That’s when 300 of the most creative and accomplished teenage artists will be invited to New York City to receive top honors from The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program.
