Eastern Alamance High School issued the following announcement on Mar. 14.
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards recognize student achievement in the visual and literary arts in 28 categories, including drawing and illustration, photography, ceramics, poetry, film and animation, journalism, and more. Works are judged on originality, technical skill, and emergence of personal vision or voice.
Since the program’s founding in 1923, the Awards have fostered the creativity and talent of millions of students, including renowned alumni who have gone on to become leaders in their fields, including Stephen King and Andy Warhol.
Each work of art and writing is blindly adjudicated, first locally through the more than 100 affiliates of the Alliance, and then nationally by panels of judges comprised of renowned artists, authors, educators and industry experts.
Regional Pottery winners representing Eastern Alamance High are:
--Norah Harbold, senior, Gold Key and Honorable Mention
--Sydney Leventhal, junior. Silver Key
--Erin Wheeley, senior, Silver Key
--Kendal Fischer, senior, Silver Key
--Olivia Mason, senior, Honorable Mention
Students were recognized at a recent art show and reception at ECU School of Art and Design in Greenville.
Norah Harbold's Gold Key piece will be automatically entered into the prestigious National competition, where the winners will be recognized at Carnegie Hall, New York City, this spring and will be notified on March 23.
Congratulations to these fine EAHS artisans!
