Creative Design Student Wins National Silver Medal

We are pleased to announce that the following student earned a National Silver Medal in the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards of 2017. Callum Griffith, a senior in RSTA's Creative Design program, has been identified by panels of creative professionals as one of the most talented young artists and writers in the nation. This year, more than 330,000 works of art and writing were submitted by students in grades 7 - 12. Only the top 1% were recognized at the national level.

Gold Key works are automatically entered into the National Judging. There are no additional steps required. In New York City, panels of nationally renowned artists, art professionals, and arts educators review Gold Key works from across the country. The artwork is judged in the digital format. Jurors select work for national recognition based on three criteria, 1) Originality, 2) Technical Skill, and 3) Emergence of a Personal Vision.
