"I Pinky Promise", by Madi Muller, 2012 Gold Medal winner in Design

Today the winners of the 90th annual National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards were announced. The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 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 Joyce Carol Oates. Teens in grades 7 through 12 can apply in 28 categories of art and writing for the chance to earn scholarships and have their works exhibited or published.
