The Polk Museum of Art is thrilled to host the nationally-renowned 98th Annual Scholastic Art and Writing Awards for the Polk County, Florida Art Region. Presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers, the Scholastic Awards initiative invited students grades 7-12 (ages 13 and up) to submit their original works produced across all media to have a chance to have their work recognized in the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious scholarship and recognition program.

Congratulations to our Honorable Mention, Silver Key, and Gold Key student winners!
