BCWMS WINNERS
For 11 years, I have been encouraging and preparing students to participate in the Scholastic Art Awards. This competition is a great opportunity for students to see how they fair beyond the walls and halls of our school as they go through a blind adjudication of distinguished judges who evaluate their work. Work is juried based on originality, artistic skill, and artist's voice or vision.
To be honest, I was unsure of how we would fair this year, as the competition is very tough. Students are not really competing against anyone other than the standard set by the judges. Sometimes we do really well and this year has proven to be one of them.
BCWMS students will be walking away with 32 awards, and the nine gold key winners will move onto the National competition. We have been very fortunate to have had at least one national winner since 2015 and can hope to keep the streak alive when we find out results later this Spring.
Our high school also did very well and students earned 47 awards. You can see the full list of regional winners here.
This is an awesome kick off to 2019 and I look forward to seeing how students use this accomplishment to swing back into creative exploration as we return to class.
