GLHS Students Receive Honors at Art Competitions
Congratulations to GLHS students who received recognition in the 2021 Central Ohio Regional Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Competition and the 2021 Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition.
Scholastic Art & Writing Awards
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards are the nation’s longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens in grades 7–12.
Students’ entries are blindly adjudicated by some of the foremost leaders in the visual and literary arts. Jurors look for works that exemplify the Awards’ core values: originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal voice or vision.
Gold Key Awards are the highest level of achievement on the regional level; they may be awarded for portfolios or for individual artworks. All Gold Key recipients are entered in the national-level competition, where they are judged for national medals and may be selected to exhibit their work in New York.
Gold key awards winning pieces were placed into a special Central Ohio Regional Scholastic Art Awards exhibit at the Columbus College of Art and Design in February.

Ohio Governor’s Youth Art Exhibition
The 2021 Ohio Governor's Youth Art Exhibition, now in its fifty-first year, is dedicated to the educational and artistic advancement of talented young people in the state of Ohio. The exhibition is open to all of Ohio's 1,112 high schools, both public and private, chartered by the State of Ohio Department of Education.
The process of selecting artworks for the state exhibition begins on a regional level. The state is divided into 15 regional locations, with high school students in each region invited to enter work in that regional judging. From the 10,000 regional entries from the 15 regions, approximately 2,500 are selected to enter the state judging. State jurors then select 300 for the actual exhibition.
