Archmere Students Win Fourteen Scholastic Writing Awards

Works submitted were eligible for Honorable Mention, Silver Key, Gold Key and American Voices Nominee recognition by the Delaware Writing Region. Works awarded a Delaware Regional Gold Key are submitted to be considered for national honors.   

The Awards program was created in 1923 by Maurice R. "Robbie" Robinson, founder of Scholastic Corporation, and has been administered by the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers since 1994. It has an impressive legacy and a noteworthy roster of past winners including Andy Warhol, Frances Farmer, Sylvia Plath, Truman Capote, Richard Avedon, and Joyce Carol Oates among many others. 

The work of Archmere's Gold Key winners, Alex Chen, Simi Edeki, Alexander Bogey, Sophia Chen and Alicia Chu, have been entered into the national competition. Full texts of Gold Key written works will be available in print in the Art Center Gallery at the Delaware State University.
