Students in grades 7-12 (13-18) are invited to submit their creative work that showcases originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal vision or voice. Submissions open September 1 2020. Each year we get more than 300,000 submissions, so any awards won are very impressive. The top portfolios are eligible to win special awards and scholarships both regional and national. National medallists are recognized in part at a ceremony at Carnegie Hall in New York.
