2010 Scholastic Art Regional Winners

Allison Eddy, North Gwinnett High School Art Student Wins Georgia State University Scholarship

Allison Eddy, North Gwinnett High School visual arts student, has been selected to receive a $1000 scholarship to Georgia State University. The Georgia State University Awards Selection committee chose Allison to receive the scholarship based on her Gold Key artwork in the Scholastics Art Exhibit. Allison will be recognized at the Scholarship Awards Ceremony on Saturday, December 4, 2010 at 1:00 PM at Georgia State University.

Allison is the Vice President of the National Art Honor Society at North Gwinnett High School and was a Governor's Honors Program visual art student in the summer of 2009. She has received ten local, regional, state and national awards, including the Istanbul Center's Honorable Mention for Art and Essay Competition, State Ceramic Symposium and All State Art Symposium. Allison has taken two years of Advance Placement Art courses with passing scores. Ms. Debi West, visual arts teacher at North Gwinnett High School, is Allison's art teacher.

The Alliance for Young Artists & Writers (Scholastic Art and Writing Awards) celebrates the creative achievement of America’s teens. In 1923, The Awards were founded in order to offer recognition and scholarships for students for their artistic talents, instead of their academic or athletic abilities. Students who excel in the visual arts and creative writing participate in The Awards in order to earn recognition, get their work exhibited or published, and to earn scholarships.

RECOGNITION
During the 2010 program year, more than 30,000 students will be recognized in their local communities, and 1,000 students will receive National Awards. Students and teachers are celebrated at regional ceremonies, public events and the national ceremony at Carnegie Hall.
