2017 Scholastic Writing Catalog

Students in grades 7–12 submit works in 10 writing categories. This year 531 writing submissions were reviewed by authors, educators, and literary professionals who served as regional jurors. Gold Keys and American Voices Nominees were awarded to works that demonstrated originality, technical skill, and an emergence of a personal voice. Regional Gold Key recipients move on to the National Competition to compete for scholarships and other national awards.
