A National Contest, A Local Display<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every year, thousands of students submit original works across dozens of categories, from sculpture and illustration to journalism and fiction. The top-tier winners receive Gold Medals and a special honor: their work displayed at Scholastic in New York City.. <\/strong>With over 400,000 works<\/strong> submitted each year, the Awards have become a pivotal launchpad for young creatives and one of the largest scholarship opportunities for teen artists and writers in the world.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s where we came in.<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Our custom frames were handpicked to bring out the unique beauty of each winning piece, making sure the presentation was just as impressive as the art itself. We took a little team field trip to NYC to see the full display in person, and yes, we were beaming with pride the entire time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
