Pictured Above: Dolmae Honrales' Gold Key Winning Submission
Every year, students from Camden High School submit a select number of artworks to the CNY Scholastic Art Competition.
Since 1923, the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nation’s youth, and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated. Through the Awards, students receive opportunities for recognition, 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. Three students from Camden have received awards in this very prestigious competition.
Dolmae Honrales received a Gold Key award for her self portrait drawing titled “Euphoria” and a Silver Key award for her watercolor painting titled “Serendipity”.
Kaylynn Witzigman received 1 Silver Key for her watercolor painting titled “Aurora”
Matt Melancon received an honorable mention nod for his self-portrait drawing.
This winning artwork will be displayed with the other regional winners at OCC through the month of February. Congratulations to Dolame, KayLynn, Matt and to all of the students who submitted work for the show.
