The Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, established in 1923, is the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens. The artwork was reviewed and recognized by a panel of creative professionals, and awarded for its outstanding merit in originality, skill and the emergence of a personal voice and vision.
Four of our Saint Edward's art students have won Scholastic Art & Writing Awards in the 2025 Competition: Maia Wallace '26 won a Gold Key in Printmaking for her Cat Blues, Antonio Torres '28 won a Silver Key for his drawing, Mi Madre, Maria, Max Plotkin '25 won an Honorable Mention for his digital artwork, The Pearl, and Jack Engel '25 won a Gold Key in Film & Animation for his film Vanished. There were thousands of entries in the "Region-at-Large South Art" level. Gold Keys will go on to compete at the National Level. Congratulations to all!
