| The Scholastic Art Awards
Mississippi Regional Competition
The Scholastic Art Awards have celebrated 80 years as a unique presence in our nation's classrooms by identifying and documenting outstanding achievement of young artists. Since 1923, 12 million students have participated, 2 million young artists and writers have been recognized, and $20 million in awards and scholarships have been made available nationwide.
The Scholastic Art Awards are open to all 7th - 12th grade students in Mississippi (counties north of Tupelo are considered part of the Memphis Region). Artwork is judged by two panels of three judges each, over a period of two days. Gold Key nominees are sent to the National Competition in New York.
