The Legacy of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
Established in 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have a monumental legacy. It is the oldest in the world, the USA's largest, and the most prestigious visual and literary arts scholarship offered to creative teens around the world.
Their distinguished list of alumni include Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and John Updike.
Students ages 13 and older residing in the United States, U.S. territories, or Canada, or enrolled in an accredited American school internationally, are eligible to submit original artworks in 29 categories of art and writing, including architecture, painting, flash fiction, poetry, printmaking, and video game design.
In 2019, students submitted nearly 340,000 works of art and writing to the Scholastic Awards.
Defining Moments - Art Contest
Defining Moment : Discovering Our Canadian Stories contest was held in 2012 across Canada to celebrate the diverse perspectives of Canadian Identity. Several youths aged 13 to 30 across Canada participated in this competition, and many genuine artworks displaying thoughtful reflections on the artist’s identity and life experiences in Canada were submitted from all parts of the country.
The top 26 contest winners were chosen and announced on Canada Day 2012, and all of our Granville Art students who participated in the competition were selected for the final Top 26.
Their art works exhibited in various locations across the country in 2012 and 2013.
Art Umbrella's Teen Scholarship
The Buschlen Mowatt Art Umbrella's Teen Scholarship program was offered to creative and passionate teens in Vancouver for many years, however, this program was canceled some years ago, and it has been replaced by Art Umbrella's Teen Scholarships. Most of Granville Art students have been awarded this scholarship over the years. Below are sample works in the form of sketchbooks that our students submitted, revealing their commitments and talents.
Remembrance Day National Art Contest
Each year, over 100,000 youth from across Canada participate in the Royal Canadian Legion’s poster and literary contests. Supported by the Royal Legion National Foundation, the contest encourages youth to honor and commemorate the spirit of sacrifice exhibited by Canada’s Veterans through creative art and writings. The Poster Contest is divided into color and B&W categories, and each work must correspond with the theme of Remembrance and what it means to the students.
