Every year the best and brightest young Colorado artists come together to compete in the Scholastic Awards. It's a chance for these 7th through 12th graders to showcase their work to a national audience and be considered for one of the many college scholarships offered through the program—now totaling more than $300,000.

RMCAD serves as the home base for the competition, which boasts professional artists, professors and retired teachers as judges. Award recipients are recognized with "key" lapel pins and certificates at the regional level—those earning Gold Key Awards go on to the national competition.

The winners' work is on exhibit at RMCAD from February 14 - March 2 in the Philip J. Steele Gallery and Rotunda Pavilion. Come see the talent of these emerging artists and support a program that promotes creativity in our schools.
