Last week, Harker students won a record 286 regional awards (112 for art and 174 for writing) in the 2025 Scholastic Art & Writing Contest, organized by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. This includes 29 art and 37 writing awards, which makes each of these 66 students eligible for a National Award. Those named National Medalists will be invited to attend the National Ceremony in New York City.
Founded in 1923, the Art & Writing Awards recognize the works of young people in the visual and literary arts. It is one of the longest-running and most prestigious arts awards programs for teens in the country.
The full list of awards earned by Harker students is as follows (some awards shown here were received for works created during the 2023-24 school year):
