Students Recognized for Excellence and Creativity

The Alliance for Young Artists and Writers recognizes the excellence and creativity of teens throughout the country. Students ages 13-18 are encouraged to submit their art and writing for consideration, which is reviewed by an esteemed group of professionals, among whom have been the talented and revered Langston Hughes, Robert Frost, David Sedaris, and Nikki Giovani. The review board chooses pieces that they feel reflect ingenuity and distinction, and selected artists receive a Scholastic Arts and Writing Award.
