Dear Affiliate Partners,
Thank you for partnering with the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers to bring the 2019 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards to your community. We hope these resources will help you prepare for a successful program year!
|
|
In this guide we identify the tools that the Alliance provides to help you manage your local Awards program. It is both a step-by-step guide with instructions to walk you through the program year and a reference with policies and guidelines included in the back. As additional information becomes available, the Guide may be updated in the Affiliate Resource Site.

This year we have cut down on the number of live Technology Trainings in favor of shorter training videos that will be posted in the Affiliate Resource Site throughout the year.
We will continue to host Live Affiliate Webinars, but these will be open conversations where you may ask questions about any aspect of your program. Please RSVP for webinars in the Resource Site to help us prepare for the virtual meetings.

Call for Submission Posters & Postcards
|
We've placed the order for the posters, postcards, and envelopes and these materials will be sent to you over the next few weeks. If you need to change or confirm your order, please email Alexis at
aalmeida@scholastic.com as soon as possible.
