MPH Student Artists Shine at Scholastic Art Competition

MPH Student Artists Shine at Scholastic Art Competition

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for students in grades 7–12. Each year in Central New York, thousands of pieces of art (5,490 this year!) are submitted. Our region covers a very large geographic area – 13 counties and almost 400 eligible schools in CNY! Artwork is judged by professional artists and educators from the region. Winners were announced at an awards ceremony on Tuesday, January 22 at Onondaga Community College. The top 10% will move on to compete at nationals. These works will be on exhibit through March 1 at OCC’s Whitney Applied Technology Center.

This year’s Manlius Pebble Hill School award winners are:
