The Scholastic Art Awards program is the largest annual art competition in the country. Students in schools across the United States and Canada create the 150,000 entries each year. The Lorain County region includes public and private middle and high schools from Lorain, Erie, and Huron counties. The high school students are competing together, grades 9-12, at the “varsity level” within various separate media categories. Students earn third place "Honorable Mention", second place "Silver Key" and the first place of "Gold Key". Placing among the 335 pieces in this show is like placing in “districts” in sports. Those works earning a regional “Gold Key” here advance directly to national jurying in New York City this spring.
 
The exhibit is hosted at the Stocker Center gallery on the campus of Lorain County Community College and sponsored by the Nordson Corporation with additional funding from the C. Paul Stocker Arts Foundation and Lorain County Community College.

Congratulations to our talented Panthers!  We are proud of your efforts and talents and willingness to share them with others. Keep prowling with pride!
