The Camden High School Art Department is pleased to announce that two twelfth grade students have received Honorable Mention status from the Central New York Scholastic Art Awards for the 2025-26 school year.
Alexis Albrecht secured two awards in the Mixed Media category for a pair of portraits featuring a similar art style. Her winning works, seen below, are entitled “Calm Charleigh”, and “Chaotic Kayla”
Alexandra Mitchell earned one award in the Experimental Photography category for her submission entitled “World Within Glass”.
Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the longest-running art recognition program for teenagers in the nation. The awards recognize the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provide opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. Through the Awards, students receive opportunities for exhibition, publication, and scholarships. Students across America submitted more than 330,000 original works last year in 29 different categories of art and writing.
This year, at the regional level, there were thousands of entries from more than 90 Central New York area school districts.
Alexis and Alexandra will have their work showcased at the Central New York Scholastic Art Show, held from January 20 to February 27, 2026, at Onondaga Community College in Syracuse.
