2010 marks the 87th anniversary of the Scholastic Art Awards, which is a juried exhibition at THE SOUTH BEND REGIONAL MUSEUM OF ART conducted to encourage and recognize junior and senior high school student achievements in visual arts. With the support of national and regional co-sponsors, the Scholastic Art Awards program has grown to become the largest and oldest juried exhibition of its kind in the United States.

Several Plymouth High School art students received high honors at the Northwestern Regional Scholastic Art Awards Contest held recently. Schools from eighteen counties in northern Indiana and southern Michigan entered artwork in the contest.

Brandon Baird won a Gold Key award for his exceptional fashion illustration, which will be forwarded to New York for national-level judging. Zach Craft received two Silver Key awards for his work in Digital Design. Jordan Harner received an Honorable Mention in Drawing and Kasey Litts received an Honorable Mention in Digital Design. Allison Gergely also received an Honorable Mention for her Portfolio submission. An Award Ceremony and Reception will be held at the South Bend Museum of Art this Sunday, February 14, 2010 at 2:30 p.m.
