Wilton Public Schools students won 15 awards total at the 2022 Scholastics Art and Writing Awards, the nation’s longest-running, most prestigious recognition program for creative teens. Jurors look for work that exemplifies the Awards’ core values: originality, technical skills, and the emergence of a personal voice or vision.
Students from Wilton High School and Middlebrook Middle School entered their work in the program.
In addition to the 15 awards, WHS senior Alexandra Giller won a Gold Key and the award for Best in Ceramics for the State of Connecticut for her piece, “Leaf Teapot,” earning the show’s top prize and advancing her into the national competition.
Five other students won gold medals will also be competing at the national level.
The high school posted a video of artwork by WHS students nominated for the show:
