SCHOLASTIC ART AWARD WINNERS
Congratulations to the BHS art student winners of the Scholastic Art Competition, the most prestigious and competitive juried art program in the country! 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, young artists in grades 7 - 12 in each of the 50 states, participate in the program along with the many Art educators who support and encourage their creative process. In the Maine Regional Scholastic Competition, our students competed with other students around the state. The work selected was based on judging criteria of originality, technical skill and personal vision. Students who won Gold Keys will have their work juried again for a 2nd tier of judging at the national level.
