Scholastic Art Show 2026

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have an impressive legacy dating back to 1923. They have grown to become the longest-running, most prestigious program for creative teens in the U.S. and the nation’s largest source of scholarships for young artists and writers. A noteworthy roster of past winners includes Andy Warhol, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, Robert Redford, Joyce Carol Oates, Stephen King, and John Updike.

The Mid-Carolina Region of the Scholastic Art Awards is administered by the College of Arts + Architecture at UNC Charlotte.
