The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, nonprofit organization whose mission is to identify students with exceptional artistic and literary talent and present their remarkable work to the world through the Awards. Through the Awards, students receive opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. They received nearly 13,000 submissions this year from teens across New York City and nearly 340,000 works were submitted to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards throughout the country.

The work of the 9 students that received Gold Keys, Fanta Diop, Angie Avendaño, Anastasia Cardona, Chloe Rodriguez, Yessica Morocho, Brian Hernandez-Armenta, Alberto Garcia, Tianna Maldonado, and Darolin Cruz, will advance on to be judged nationally by an impressive panel of creative–industry experts to receive National Medals, and will have their work exhibited in the Metropolitan Museum of Art beginning March 22.
