Judging works at the national level of the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards is one of our busiest times of the year. We recruit hundreds of professionals in the arts and literary communities to review all of the Gold Key works to determine which ones will receive National Medals and Special Achievement Awards. It’s a daunting task, but it is also one that we look forward to every year.

Curious about the national jurors? We put together a list of the national art jurors and writing jurors on our website. There you can learn more about them and the work that they do.

We also put together a video of some of our art jurors introducing themselves! Take a look at the video above to see some of the people who reviewed works at the national level for the 2019 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards.
