The Eastern Kansas Scholastic Art Awards were announced this afternoon. This exhibition is highly competitive and showcases select artwork created by middle school and high school students from 70 Kansas counties.
The Awards give students opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. Participants, supported by their visual arts teachers and other community mentors, create and submit their best works of art. Each work is reviewed by a panel of art professionals for originality, technical skill and the emergence of personal vision.
Judging Criteria is based on the following:
Originality: An original work is different from what others have created. This means the work is not copied from someone else’s original art or writing. We understand that artists and writers sometimes make work that references other creators and popular culture in original and meaningful ways, but every work that wins an Award must be substantially different from any source material.
Skill: We interpret the word “skill” broadly. This may refer to craftsmanship and the way the work was made, but it may also refer to other types of skill. Consider critical thinking, problem-solving, or the way an idea is developed over time. Empathy can be a skill. Creativity is a skill!
Emergence of a personal voice or vision: We’re looking for work that expresses an authentic perspective and stands out from classroom assignments and social media trends.
Congratulations to the following students for being selected as the 2024-2025 Scholastic Art award winners!
Our Silver Key winner, Ren Wright will have her work featured in the Mark Arts Gallery in Wichita, KS during the month of February!
Buff Proud💙❤️
