The Central New York region has conducted its annual Scholastic Art Awards competition for more than 65 years. The region includes 13 counties and nearly 400 eligible schools.
This year, the contest drew 4,600 art submissions – making the regional competition one of the largest in the country. Some 70 professional artists, educators and photographers selected more than 1,200 award winners during the judging process.
Gold Key award winners were celebrated at an awards ceremony Jan. 17 in the Onondaga Community College gymnasium, and their artwork will be considered for national-level recognition.
The winning pieces and portfolios will be on display until March 1 in the Whitney Applied Technology Center at OCC.
“It really is a spectacular display of artwork from schools across the region,” Marcellus High School art teacher Tara Charles said.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, which includes regional competitions in more than 100 communities around the country, have an impressive legacy dating back to 1923 and a noteworthy roster of past winners, including Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford and Syracuse University alumna Joyce Carol Oates. To date, the Awards have encouraged more than 13 million students, recognized more than 9 million young artists and writers, and made available more than $25 million in awards and scholarships. They continue to be the longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in the United States.
