^^^ @all who didnāt make it: donāt worry, scholastic is so subjective, and itās not the be all end all. we chillin.
@ghostjazz thatās right 
Iām happy with how I went so far. This is my first time submitting, so hereās to next year!
i got two gold medals and a best-in-grade award omg
to everyone who didnāt get anything this yearākeep trying! iāve submitted every year since seventh grade and this is the first year iāve gotten a national award. scholastic is so subjective and a lot of it is luck. youāre all such amazing artists and writers 
i know your work is brilliant!

CONGRATS @bluets !!! Thatās great news
@bluets congratssss:))))))
im just kinda annoyed bcuz i just got waitlisted at a bunch of boarding schools i applied to and was hoping to improve my chances on the waitlist with scholastic, or improve my chances next year when I reapply
tbh i didnāt expect to win anything
I won three gold keys this year, no national medals. I canāt even lie, Iām pretty upset. Nothing to show colleges next year.
I got two golds and one silver but everyone who didnāt get anything, I know itās hard, but please donāt let it feel like a determinate of your writing/artistic abilities. Scholastic is incredibly subjective and really just follows a certain aesthetic tbh. And for anyone worrying about showing writing to colleges, there are a ton of other writing contests that you can still apply to! I know there are a bunch of essay contests coming up for high schoolers, but every month many literary journals also have monthly contests. Also, if youāre passionate, it will definitely show through. Great job guys Iām proud of all of you ?
gold medal in poetry!
i put a lot of effort into this piece and itās one of my favorites so im so mf happy that it got chosen oh my god
and i agree with @bluets - if you didnāt win, please keep trying! ive also submitted every year since 7th grade, and iāve only really won last year and this year. you guys are so talented; im rooting for all of you! and others have already stressed this, but scholastic is very very subjective and is most definitely not a judge of your artistic abilities.
Congrats @hihelloo on your medals!!! And to all who didnāt get anything (including me) we just need to remember that Scholastic isnāt the end-all. We write/make art to tell stories to the world. We can still do it with or without Scholastic. Idk guys Iām pretty proud of us
Silver in poetry!
And I agree with @blue1nk , I really liked how they phrased it: we write/make art to tell stories to the world. I hope this lowkey sadistic college process of quantifying our talent and effort wonāt discourage us from creating in the future.
@galactoc
Ugh thatās so annoying. I feel you, for real. I hope you try your best in some other contests/ college essays and keep fighting till the end! Remember, there WILL be a college that sees your potential, and if they donāt, itās THEIR loss.
Yay! Ended up with a silver medal
@bluets @NoShotsThrown @spinnypeeps Thatās incredible!!! Congrats!
To everyone who won a gold medal or a special achievement award: I hope to see you at Carnegie Hall in June! For everyone who didnāt, I hope to read your work on bookshelves or to see your work in museums in the future! These awards do not define us as writers or artists. Iām proud of all of you!
