American Voices & Visions Award
About This Scholarship
Underwritten by Dav and Sayuri Pilkey, American Voices & Visions Awards offer $500 scholarships to approximately 150 works representing each region of the Scholastic Awards.
How do I apply?
Enter your work into any category in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
The Awards’ core values of originality, skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision are key factors in the selection process. Additionally, regional jurors may consider various elements that showcase talent and diversity, such as different mediums, viewpoints, and backgrounds.
Jurors from each region can select up to five works to be American Voices or Visions Award Nominees. To be nominated for the American Voices or Visions Award, participants must first earn a Gold Key in their region. These nominated works are then reviewed by national judges to receive American Voices or Visions Medals.
One nominee from each region will be selected to receive a national American Voices or Visions Medal. Affiliate Partners that manage both writing and art regions will have two participants selected for this award: one for the American Voices Medal and one for the American Visions Medal.
Deadlines vary by region and can be as early as December 1. Go to My Region to find yours.
