Scholastic Art Awards
32th Annual Cuyahoga County Regional Scholastic Art Awards 2011
hosted & sponsored by Cleveland Institute of Art. The Regional Scholastic Art Competition identifies creativity among junior high and high school students in the Cuyahoga County region.

The students represented in this exhibition were selected from more than 2,300 entrants from approximately 100 area schools. A jury of 16 noted art educators and professional artists selected these works on the basis of their quality and artistic promise.

Each student whose work has been selected for display received a certificate of merit indicating his or her rank as Honorable Mention, Silver Key, or Gold Key Finalist Exhibitor.

From the key-winning work, the jury designated 75 key finalists whose pieces will compete with 15,000 national entries for awards, cash prizes and scholarships. The Jury also selected 15 Portfolio Award nominees that will compete in the nationals for larger scholarships and recognition. A national exhibition of the winning work will be held in New York City, during the summer of 2011
