Consider submitting your photography to the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards. This is a national competition with a primary regional level. There are a variety of categories for submitting, including photography, photography portfolio, and digitally manipulated photography. This competition is open to students in grades 7 to 12, and residents of the United States and Canada. Submissions must go through the school you attend, and submissions are open until the end of November. Students will earn gold keys, silver keys, or honorable mentions at the regional level, and students winning gold keys will have their artwork advance on to the national competition. Judging is based on originality, technical skill, and “emergence of a personal vision or voice.” Monetary prizes are also awarded to the highest placing artwork. There is no limit to the number of submissions you can submit, but there is a fee of $5 for each submission. Students must register online and fill out the required paperwork prior to the deadline.
Specifics for entering photography include:
- images must be captures by a digital or analog camera and viewed as a print
- minimum 300 dpi at 5” x 7” for digital photographs
- prints must be mounted on a rigid board for exhibition
- if the photo is of people, a consent form must be signed
- intensely computer manipulated artwork must be entered in the Digital Art category
