Epitaph

what number did you call?

vegangirl

Probably they called the number listed on the art/writing award website, which is the main line for scholastic in new york. then you choose the option for speaking to an operator, and then ask that person to connect you to someone working on the art/writing awards. this is what i did, though the person i ended up talking to gave me incorrect info, so it's hit or miss.

Hmm...I just tried that and the woman I spoke to simply said that notifications were sent out at the end of last week.

But has anybody on here actually gotten anything in the mail yet?

just got an actually person at scholastic. she told me all the people in the dept who had access to the info about winners were out of the office until next week. also said the letters for winners of RAL would be in the mail soon and people would have them by the end of next week. do they keep saying that? and the date keeps moving?

Adelaide

hmm...that might be accurate, though, because I received notification at just that time last year (I think the date was april 22)

Le_Moz

Last year for gold and silver winners - were you asked to send in your work to NY? If so, when?

Adelaide

no...i think they forward it themselves

Le_Moz

Who forwarded it?

Adelaide

scholastic does. when you win regionally, they forward it to the national round...at least that's what happened to me
