LTHS artists earn national medals
LT's winning entries were among more than 300,000 works of art and writing submitted from students across the country.
Two Lyons Township High School student-artists earned medals in the 2018 National Scholastic Art Awards. Juniors Evan Hultman, of LaGrange, earned silver in the jewelry category with a piece titled Copper Kracken, and Cain Nocera, of LaGrange, also earned a silver medal in the photography category with a photo titled Bando Church.
Only 10% of the artwork that advances to the national level will win a national medal, putting a piece awarded a medal in the top 1% of works submitted nationally.
In total, three dozen pieces of art work created by 16 LT artists advanced to the Scholastic Art Awards national competition in New York. LT’s winning entries were among more than 300,000 works of art and writing submitted from students across the country. The Scholastics Art & Writing Awards are the most prestigious national award competition given in the visual arts for high school students. The process starts at the regional level where approximately 10% of submitted works are awarded the highest regional award for submissions, a regional Gold Key. All of the Gold Key winners are then judged at the national level.
