Our teachers foster and encourage an artistic learning environment, creative thinking, risk taking, AND making sure the submission process happens! Our students are phenomenal in their hard work, creativity, and perseverance. Everyone, receiving an award or not, needs to be recognized for this artistic learning journey. Being creative and putting your work out there is not easy. So to all – CONGRATULATIONS!”

Gold Key works automatically advance to national judging. In New York City, renowned creative professionals review Gold Key works from across the country. Jurors select work for national recognition based on three criteria: originality, technical skill, and emergence of a personal vision or voice.
National Awards will be announced on March 17, 2022 at artandwriting.org.
The 2022 Minnesota Scholastic Art Awards will be virtual this year due to safety precautions during COVID-19.
Regional Scholastic Exhibition information: The Weisman Art Museum will be hosting a virtual ceremony for the regional award winners.
