Five Students Honored in Scholastic Art and Writing Competition
Five students from Walnut Hill’s Writing & Publishing Department were chosen in regional competition as recipients of the 2010 Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. Two of the students attained Gold Key recognition, the highest level of achievement, which elevated their submissions to the national round of judging.
The competition is overseen by the Alliance for Young Artists and Writers and honors “exceptional artistic and literary talent”.
According to Scholastic Art and Writing’s web site, “nearly 100,000 students will accept the challenge to submit work to The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards for review by professional artists, writers, educators, and creative-industry leaders. More than 30,000 students will earn regional awards, and 1,000 students will earn national awards.”
Walnut Hill students selected for awards are:
- Gabriella Fee ’10, Gold Key, poetry and writing portfolio
- Elana Yoffie ’12, Gold Key, dramatic script
- Kevin Hong ’11, Silver Key, poetry
- Laura Wanamaker ’12, Silver Key, poetry
- Mary Carter ’10 Honorable Mention, personal essay/memoir
Submissions by Gabriella Fee and Elana Yoffie were selected for national competition, which occurs in February. Winners are notified by late April.
