THE BEST TEEN ART OF 2020 32 2020 SCHOL A STIC ART & WRITING AWARDS

About the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. Each year, thousands of teens participate in the program and become a part of our community—young artists and writers, filmmakers and photographers, poets and sculptors, video game designers and science fiction writers—along with countless educators who support and encourage the creative process. Notable Scholastic Awards alumni include Tschabalala Self, Stephen King, Kay WalkingStick, Charles White, Joyce Carol Oates, and Andy Warhol—to name just a few.

Our Mission The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to identify students with exceptional artistic and literary talent and present their remarkable work to the world through the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Awards give students opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. During our 2020 program year, students across America submitted nearly 320,000 original works across 29 different categories of art and writing.

Our Programs Through the Scholastic Awards, teens in grades 7–12 from public, private, or home schools can submit pieces in 29 categories of art and writing for a chance to earn recognition and scholarships, and have their works exhibited and published. Beyond the Awards, the Alliance produces a number of programs to support creative students and their educators, including the Art.Write.Now.Tour, the National Student Poets Program, the Scholastic Awards Summer Workshops and Scholastic Awards Summer Scholarships programs, the GOLDEN Educators Residency, the Writer’s Retreat for Educators, and many more. The Alliance features artworks by National Medalists who received our top awards in The Best Teen Art. Additionally, we publish a collection of exemplary written works in our anthology, The Best Teen Writing, and a chapbook that features works from the National Student Poets. These publications are distributed free of charge to schools, students, educators, museums, libraries, and arts organizations across the country.

ForewordThis book celebrates the creative accomplishments of the exceptional teens whose works received National Medals in this year’s Awards. Our National Medalists are part of a tradition that dates back to 1923—one focused on recognizing young people who represent the future of American art and letters.

On behalf of the entire Awards family, we congratulate all of this year’s Medalists. We would also like to acknowledge the extraordinary educators and supportive family members who have helped to nurture the voices and visions expressed in this year’s national award–winning work.

From their founding, the Awards have grown to become the country’s largest, longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens. This is possible only because of our dedicated Affiliate partners, who oversee more than 100 regional programs across the nation; our expert jurors at both the regional and national level; and our generous supporters. And of course, none of our programs would exist without the leadership of our Board of Directors and the yearlong efforts of our exceptional staff. We are grateful to this extraordinary community for all they do to support our shared mission.

Dr. Hugh Roome Chairman of the Board Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

Christopher Wisniewski Executive Director Scholastic Art & Writing Awards

Special Achievement AwardsPolitical commentaries and civic engagement. Climate change. Love and loss. Teens have a lot to say about life and the world around them. Every year, we partner with dedicated individuals, foundations, and corporations to offer scholarship opportunities to teen artists and writers whose creative work engages deeply in many of the pressing issues of our time and those facing their generation.
