2017 CALL FOR SUBMISSIONS
The 2017 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards launched last month and we've been seeing a steady stream of incoming submissions.
To make sure students and educators have the most up to date information, we're keeping the content coming.
Our
Important Updates to the 2017 Scholastic Awards blog post is up and can be shared with all constituents in your region. From category updates to new Sponsored Awards, it's all the info you need to know.
SHOW US YOUR POSTER!
Each year we utilize your feedback to produce our Call for Submissions poster. We produce, print, and mail thousands of posters to schools, libraries, and creative programs across the country with the support of YOU!
Now we want to see where they end up! Are they hung in the high school art room? Posted in the hallways of the high school for all to see? Have you caught a glimpse of one a guidance counselor's office, or perhaps even your office?
Help us get the word out and show us your poster! Educators, administrators, and even students can post their poster on their preferred social media platform using the hashtag #GoldKey, and I encourage you to share your photos with us by uploading to the
Affiliate Resource Site.
FACEBOOK LIVE Q&A
Last week the Scholastic Awards hosted our first Facebook Live Q&A! Take a look at some of our top customer service questions, and much more in the comments section. To download the questions asked and answered, head to the Affiliate Resource Site Current Documents section.
Our Frequently Asked Questions webpage provides additional information for students and educators and more in-depth answers to the questions in the Facebook Live video. Getting questions that aren't addressed in the video or the FAQ? Let me know and we'll add those to the FAQ or feature them in an upcoming Facebook Live Q&A!
