Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. ​

We encourage Champion Students to enter art contests and competitions each year for various purposes: be more confident, challenge themselves, and expose their artworks to the world. Champion teachers provide guidance and advices to students during the art designing and making.
