Combined the students earned 24 Gold Key, Silver Key and Honorable Mentions in the Photography, Digital Art, Sculpture, Ceramics & Glass, Film & Animation, Drawing & Illustration, and Painting.

The CNY Scholastic Art Awards, sponsored by M&T Bank, has conducted an annual Scholastic Art Awards program for more than 80 years. The CNY region covers a very large geographic area – 13 counties and almost 400 eligible schools. 

Each year more than 6,000 pieces of art from about 200 teachers and about 90 schools are submitted for judging. More than 60 professional artists, educators and photographers select award winners during the judging process.

The winning pieces will be honored during a virtual award ceremony. Details about the award ceremony have not been announced.

Stay tuned for a gallery of all the winners!
