Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards


The Scholastic Arts & Writing Awards are open to teachers and librarians (remember them?) for students in Grades 7-12 in Delaware and nationally. This program supports and encourages creative writers and the submissions cover these categories:


  1. Critical Essay
  2. Dramatic Script
  3. Flash Fiction (my favorite!)
  4. Humor
  5. Journalism
  6. Personal Essay/Memoir Poetry
  7. Science Fiction/Fantasy
  8. Short Story
  9. Writing Portfolio for Seniors


This program is in its 93rd year and has given student awards to Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Stephen King and Lena Dunham.

My 8th grade students from Mariner Middle school together with Dana Orton's have won numerous awards and enjoyed an Awards Ceremony in Dover, Delaware for state winners.

I encourage you to submit student work by the deadline, December 16, 2016!

Contact me for assistance!
