Students from across Massachusetts submitted nearly 20,000 pieces of art and writing to this year's Scholastic Art and Writing Contest sponsored by The Boston Globe and The School of the Museum of Fine Arts at Tufts University.
Rising to the top of the extremely competitive contest were seven Waring artists and two Waring writers. Leading the way were Gold Key recipients Will Stomberg '20 and Arion Carraher-Kang '21 as well as Silver Key winner Julia Kautz '19.
Arion ("Latino story, Voices of Immigrants") and Julia ("Flip Side") were Waring's two writing winners.
Will led Waring's art award recipients which also included six students that earned Honorable Mention recognition–Gareth Buhl '19, Betta Tham '20, Ilaria Bardini '20, Gyani Pradhan Wong Ah Sui '20, Luna Schiller '20, and Isabella Fedele '23.
The works of Gold Key winners, Will and Arion, will advance to the Scholastic Art and Writing National Competition.
