The results are in from the 2019 Regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards by creative teens. The judges, called jurors, evaluated works based on three criteria: originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
Saint Ursula Academy is proud to list the 2019 regional award recipients. The highest regional awards, Gold Keys are given to the very best works submitted to local programs. Works receiving Gold Keys are automatically entered into the national level of competition where they will be considered for National Medals. Gold Key winners nominated for The American Voices & Visions Medals, the highest regional honors, also move on to the national competition.
