Scholastic Art Winners Announced

Scholastic Art Winners Announced

Congratulations to the 25 Upper School students and one Middle School student who won a total of 70 individual awards in art from the Scholastic Art and Writing Competition. The awards included 13 Gold Keys and 23 Silver Keys. View the award-winning work here

Winning entries were selected for awards without knowledge of the student’s gender, age, ethnicity, or hometown by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts. Jurors look for works that exemplify the Scholastic Art Awards’ core values: originality, skill, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision. 

Many USM students were honored for multiple works, including: Aida El-Hajjar '27, Jorge Guifarro ’25, Madelyn Hernandez ’25, Emmanuel Igwike ’28, Tatiana Marich ’25, Ian Massart ’28, and Hans Weissgerber IV ’28.

All students who received either a Gold Key or Silver Key will have their work displayed in an exhibition at the Milwaukee Art Museum from Feb. 1 through March 16. In addition, the Gold Key recipients advance to the national competition in New York City for a chance to have their work exhibited and/or published.

Names of award winners were collected to the best of our ability. If you notice an error or omission, please email communications@usm.org
