Ok - we need someone to call Scholastic - surely they must know if Region at Large writing has been notified. I'll call tomorrow.

region at large and national awards

I thought I would share some info I received from a friend at Scholastic today....The region-at-large writing awards have still not been mailed to everyone, and the national writing awards are not finished yet. So don't give up hope

I emailed a bunch of random people in the scholastic office today to ask if they had sent out info to the winners yet (as I see many others did as well) and they sent me back word that I won a gold award in poetry, a silver award for my writing portfolio, and the american voices (best of region) award. so i take this as proof that if you pester them enough, they'll tell you what you want to know. good luck to everyone else!
