Trustees’ Incentive Award, and 13 other student artists won Gold Key awards,
qualifying them to advance to national-level judging in New York City.

Mentions.
The
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, now 92 years old, provides middle and high
school students with an opportunity to have their personal work judged and
shown. Through the awards, outstanding visual art and writing created by
American teens is showcased to a national audience, promoting creativity and
career development.
Former
Scholastic Art & Writing winners who received this award in high school include
notables like writer Truman Capote, photographer Richard Avedon, artist Andy
Warhol, poet Sylvia Plath, director Robert Redford and fashion designer Zac Posen.
Across
Harris County, 1,346 students from 18 separate public school districts, and
private, religious, charter and home schools received Gold Key, Silver Key, and
Honorable Mention awards, along with American Visions and American Voices
nominations. National medalists will be announced March 16 in New York City.
Winning
art and writing entries were selected from about 5,000 regional entries, HCDE
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Coordinator Melba Kent said.
“We
celebrate the talent of these young artists and writers,” Kent said. “We are
proud to sponsor this competition and look forward to showcasing the work of
these amazing youth.”
Named as
one of 10 American Visions art nominees from the region is Memorial High’s
Cheryl Mai. As a “Best in Show” finalist, she has earned a national medal and a
$250 scholarship from Texas Arts Supply.
Memorial
High art student Michelle Moore received the $500 Trustees’ Incentive Award
