Scholastic Arts and Writing

I'm wondering if anyone else is entering the Scholastic Arts and Writing this year. I'm entering some of my art, poetry and a short story.

AHHHHHH

I HAVE BEEN WORKING AND WORKING AND STRESSING OVER MY TWO MEMOIR ESSAYS FOR LIKE A MONTH

YAY

SOMEBODY ELSE KNOWS THE MADNESS. XD

I sent them to three teachers for editing this week, only one has responded. :3.

I was looking at this! It looks really neat... I might enter some photography and a short story.

It is really cool

now im freaking out hoping that my entries get mails in time! We just sent them last night. Welcome, month of waiting in extreme anticipation for my "you won" email

Ummmm....what's the Scholastic Arts and Writing thing? Apparently some kind of contest (involving art and writing), but can someone give me a little more information?

When is your state's deadline? Mine is Dec. 13th O.O

It's an extremely prestigous national competition. We send them to our individual states, and those winners get sent on to Nationals(unless you submit a novel, which goes directly to Nationals)

I learned about it from my friend(who actually won a National Gold Medal last year ). He got to go to Carnegie Hall to get his award, and was published in a book, the book's foreword was written by Elie Wiesel!

He is the most brilliant writer I know, so I'm not really expecting much in the way of Nationals, but I'm hoping I at least get like an honorable mention at state. XD there are all sorts of categories, from poem to memoir to fashion design to archetecture to novel. Google it for the website. Deadlines are really soon, so you might not make it into this years' unless you have something on hand.

Argh! I missed it--the deadline was back in October for me.

I'm from the same state as you, Amar! I was just reading your blog and was all like OMG THERES OTHER LAKEHOUSERS FROM CA! Lol, at least we aren't competing in the same category against each other.

I sent in some of my paintings and photography I'm very excited!

Snips lives in CA too.

I have all my submissions in a nice fat envelope ready to go tomorrow morning! I'm so excited

I mailed mine in! It cost like 2 bucks to mail everything. Now to wait until January...

Today is the day Californians find out who won in each category O.O.....

Oh! I'm not going to sit still all day, waiting to find out if I won (or even honorable mention, that works too ).

>.> I guess I didn't win Gold....the other categories are still up though.

Sorry you didn't get gold Amar! I didn't either. I won a silver, though. I'm pretty happy, but I also hope to do better next year.

I"m still waiting to see if I get silver/honorable mention :(

Yay DSK!

Yeah, I'm waiting, too. I really hope I got some sort of recognisation.

The silver and honorable mentions still haven't been released... T.T

Both of them got Honorable Mentions... >.> oh well better than nothing XD. sucks though.

That's awesome that you won Honorable Mention! I'm so proud of you! *hugs*

Is anyone doing this again this year?

I am, but I haven't started on my painting yet   When is it this year again?

Hmm, it's usually the end of December I thought! Good luck everybody! If I have time to write something I will try and get it in.

Are the writing and art ones on different days then? Because the art ones are usually at the end of November.
