The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, founded in 1923, are presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Alliance’s mission is “to identify students with exceptional artistic and literary talent and present their remarkable work to the world through the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards,” according to its website.
“The awards give students opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. In 2024, more than 110,000 teens across the United States and Canada entered more than 340,000 original works in 28 different categories of art and writing.”
