National Medalist in 2016 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards


Congratulations to Grace Ficke.  It was announced today that Grace won a Scholastic Art & Writing National Silver Medal for her work entitled When Broccoli Collides. 

Each year, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual arts and literary arts organizations across the country to bring the Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7 through 12 apply in 29 categories of art and writing. Submissions are juried by luminaries in the visual and literary arts, some of whom are past award recipients. Panelists look for works that best exemplify originality, technical skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.

Grace has been identified by panels of creative professionals as one of the most talented young artists in the nation. This year, nearly 320,000 works of art and writing were submitted. Only the top 1% were recognized at the national level.
