Gold Key winners advance to the national competition with a chance to win cash grants, special financial aid consideration and an invitation to the Gala Ceremony held at Carnegie Hall in New York City.
In this year’s competition, students across Colorado submitted more than 5,000 original works to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards program, which fosters the creative development of teenagers across the country by identifying emerging artists.
