About the Alliance
Our Mission
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are presented by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers. The Alliance is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization whose mission is to identify teens with exceptional artistic and literary talent and present their remarkable work to the world through the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards. The Awards give teens opportunities for recognition, exhibition, publication, and scholarships. In 2025, nearly 110,000 teens across the United States and Canada entered more than 310,000 original works in 28 different categories of art and writing.
