For regional websites, try searching for your region's name and "Scholastic Art and Writing." Not all regions have a website, though, and the "Region at Large" definitely doesn't.

Georgia has a region for art according to to the Scholastic list of states and their regional affiliates. Georgia appears to be regional for art and region-at-large for writing.

The Atlanta College of Art closed and we did not have a regional (as per my teacher). They used to be in charge of the regionals. Anyone else from the Atlanta area? How do you find a listing of regionals from your state?

For those who entered in novel writing:
I was the novel writing gold award winner last year, and I received word about two weeks after everyone else heard. The novels are judged by an entirely different group of people, from a small publisher within scholastic called PUSH. Last year they conference-called me on May 1st to tell me I'd won and I got the mailing about two weeks later.
Hope this helps. good luck.

thank you so much, vegangirl! The suspense was killing me.

Now all I have to do is wait for another month.

Oh boy. Oh, did they call you or did they e-mail you?

I don't think so. I assume that the list of gold portfolio winners included RAL though, yes? Sigh. I also entered a lot of other categories, though, so I'm still waiting.

Kouta Ikeda, Photography Portfolio, The Waterford School, Sandy, UT
Megan McHugh, Art Portfolio, Prospect High School, Arlington Heights, IL
Antonio Pulgarin, Photography Portfolio, Abraham Lincoln High School, Brooklyn, NY
Anne Reese, Writing Portfolio, Interlochen Arts Academy, Interlochen, MI
Denise Rickman, Writing Portfolio, Southeast Raleigh Magnet High School, Raleigh, NC
Ebony Robinson, Art Portfolio, Overton High School, Memphis, TN
Pheobe Rusch, Writing Portfolio, Interlochen Arts Academy, Interlochen, MI
Sebhatu Temnete, Writing Portfolio, South Carolina Governors School for the Arts and Humanities, Greenville, SC

It's weird that there are three schools that each have two winners.

This is completely BS!!! It's entirely BS!!! I'm definitely not submitting next year. I spent soo much time on my essay (region-at-large) to take this S###. Even registration went horrible wrong. I had to misspell my teacher's name because they wouldn't let me reg. her real name (for some odd reason) (even though she had reg. properly and everything)

I've sent repeated emails, with no reply, and I'm just not taking this bs next year. Hell No!!!! I'll write for another sch.

You need a teacher or counselor to sign your entry sheet.
