| I live in WA and had to enter the RAL category even though it doesn't say "Region-At-Large" under my state. I think it's regional. |

| All I know is a couple of months ago I submitted my portfolio through my school and about two weeks later i got the news that i gota a gold portfolio...i then went to the awards ceremony and that was it. I know I'm supposed to have won a bid to nationals I however have no idea what this Region-At-Large thing is and when we hear back about nationals.
Can anyone clear this up for me? | |

| region-at-large is for people who don't have competitions for art and/or writing in their area and instead submit it to the region-at-large. region-at-large is considered a competition at the regional level and kids who win gold in that level move on to the nationals. | |

| Wait, so how were we supposed to know whether we are a region at large? Cause I just downloaded the entry form and sent it to the Broadway, New York address. Did I send it to the wrong place? | |

Me, too. And if they've already picked national winners, I'm certainly out of the running! =( | |

| D1 won 2 gold keys for films last month in region. No news about D2 entry for short story at region or otherwise.
All we know is that the films went to NY for national judging. | |

| Apparently for RAL there are no regional winners--that's why it is taking so long. All RAL entries go straight to nationals, and so if you get a gold key, you've won a national award. Or that's what my teacher told me...
So no one's out of the running yet.  | |
