SCHOLASTIC ART AND WRITING AWARDS COLORADO - Todd Bacon, Subcommittee Chair

Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Colorado is part of the national Scholastic Art and Writing Awards Program that has encouraged and recognized young artists and writers since 1923. The Colorado program is a collaborative effort of such organizations as the Colorado Art Education Program, SCFD, Colorado Language Art Society, The Colorado Writing Project, The Colorado Trust, and The Rotary Club of Denver . This program provides talented students with an opportunity to exhibit their work, be judged against their Colorado peers, and to compete against peers on a national level. The committee members have provided significant advice, guidance and expertise on governance and financing needs of the Scholastic Art Awards, Colorado Region (a 501 (c)(3) organization). Rotarians can also be involved in soliciting and securing funds for the project, expanding the participation of schools and Rotary clubs statewide, assisting in hanging the display and judging of the annual exhibition held each winter, as well as the annual awards ceremony in January.
