Does Regional Scholastic Arts & Writings award help?

@SculptorDad That’s a good question. I just took a quick look at the list of winners for our region and it seems like most have a high school associated with them. Only a few specify middle school although there are several from independent schools which don’t indicate by their name if it is a high school or middle school student.

For national level winners, you can go to the main Arts & Writing website and filter those awards by state and grade level (Student Showcase then Award Winning Works). But for regional level, there doesn’t seem to be a similar filtering ability by grade level.

I would think that awards won by a middle schooler would be interesting for a BS admissions officer. It certainly shows initiative and skill at a young age.
