WLWV Focus — West Linn-Wilsonville Student Artists Receive 178 Scholastic Art Awards
If a picture is worth 1,000 words, then the artwork created by West Linn-Wilsonville students this year is thousands of words and then some. The Oregon High School Scholastic Art Awards were announced on Friday, Jan. 24, highlighted by more than 150 awards and recognitions for West Linn-Wilsonville students.
At Wilsonville High School, 18 students earned Gold Key Awards, while 34 earned Silver Key Awards and 41 students received Honorable Mentions. At West Linn High School, six students earned Gold Key Awards, five students received Silver Key Awards, and seven students earned Honorable Mention.
Students were recognized with awards for paintings, drawing and illustrations, photography, digital art, mixed media, and sculpture among other mediums. In total, West Linn-Wilsonville students received 178 Scholastic Art Awards in 2020.
The Scholastic Art Awards are separated into categories and juried by three unique jurors. Professionals and art professors make up the group of jurors, judging the category or medium they specialize in through a blind adjudication process. Of the more than 7,000 individual works that were submitted in Oregon this year, only 7 percent were awarded Gold Keys, while 10 percent receive Silver Keys and 10 percent receive Honorable Mentions.
Gold Key winners advance to the national competition in New York, where past West Linn-Wilsonville students have excelled. READ THE FULL LIST OF STUDENT AWARD WINNERS.
