Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2019-2020

@blue1nk I’ve been thinking about this. I will be really really upset. I mean, I want everyone to be safe obviously, but it’s such an amazing experience, and missing out on it for my last year would be devastating.

NOOOOOOOOOO i would die if i get chosen and they cancel omg

Good news–the scholastic website says National Ceremonies will continued as planned. Of course that could always change if the outbreak gets worse, but for now it’s on.

@galactoc Fingers crossed it stays that way!!!

that’s awesome! i hope things don’t get worse, carnegie hall seems like such an amazing opportunity. good luck to everyone on monday :heart:

Hey y’all I submitted my SAS application 5 minutes late, do you think they’ll still look at it? Should I email them? I know we had a lot of time to work on it, but I did it in two days as a last-ditch effort because my summer program in Spain will probably be canceled due to coronavirus. Also, how many sentences did y’all use to explain your art/writing?

@unemployedcardib Lol I submitted mine last minute as well. You should probably email them asap if you haven’t already. I didn’t use A LOT of sentences. Normal 8 sentence paragraphs for my two submissions.

Anyone else in this weird state of calm where they kinda know they won’t get a gold medal, so you just casually counting down the days :confused:

Lol same. I know I will most likely not get a medal but I’ll still be so upset when I find out. I don’t really care about the award itself but it’s just my last chance to win a medal before college apps, and I need it to verify my writing, if that makes sense. I can tell colleges I love creative writing but I need some proof to back it up in the form of an award.

Hey does anyone know how they are announcing the national medalists? Are they sending out email notifications?

@MPC4002 Scholastic said they would post it on the same portal you fill your SAS apps

ONE DAAAAAAAYYYY

Does anyone know if you can use a VPN to find out the results earlier by switching to a timezone where it is already 12 PM tomorrow?

No idea @olaf2021 but I wishhh
The wait is just so long TT
The torture is… tortuous.

@olaf2021 I guess if you could find a server in like New Zealand, it should work?

Found a server in new zealand and sadly it didnt work.

Feels like it’s gonna take so long, but fingers crossed for everyone here!

(Really hoping to snatch a medal tomorrow… :smile: )
