Students from The Cambridge School of Weston have been awarded a total of 25 awards for the 2013 Boston Globe Scholastic Art & Writing Awards competition.
Five of these students – Rebecca Cumberbatch '13, Liam Dermady '13, Zoey Perse '13, Julia Saldaña '13, and Annarose Shaver '13 - were presented with Gold Key Awards for their portfolios in drawing and mixed media.
Willa Cosinuke '15, Sadie Dix '14, Sean Kilmurray '15, and Ruby Rose '14 were each given Gold Key Awards for individual pieces of artwork.
A Gold Key Award is the highest level of achievement on the regional level. Approximately 7 to 10 percent of all regional submissions are recognized with Gold Key Awards and all are considered for national-level recognition.
Abigail Austin '14 and Madeleine Killough '15 both received Silver Keys for their artwork. Plus, an additional 14 Honorable Mentions were awarded to students for their work in drawing, photography, sculpture, and jewelry.
These winning pieces were selected from more than 6,500 submissions of individual student artwork, as well as over 500 portfolios. The artwork comes from students in grades 7-12 in public, private, and parochial schools in Massachusetts.
The artwork in the scholastic competition is judged by a group of jurors who are unaware of the identity of each artist until they have made their final selections and no artwork is disqualified for its content. The jury of professional artists critique the submissions based on originality, skill, and how well the student's personal vision and/or voice is displayed through the artwork.
“The talent and creativity of CSW students humbles and amazes me,” said Head of School Jane Moulding. “As a school with a deeply-developed arts program, these awards are just one way where we see how our students' work is recognized. To make art is a phenomenal gift; to see it honored in this way is a sweet reward.”
Gold and Silver Key recipients will be recognized at an awards ceremony at John Hancock Hall in Boston on March 3, 2013. The artwork of Gold and Silver Key winners will be on display for the public at the State Transportation Building Gallery in Boston from February 11 to April 19, 2013.
The Boston Globe awards program is an affiliate of the national Scholastic Art and Writing Awards, which is now in its 90th year and is the longest running recognition program for student artists and writers in the United States.
