Scholastic Art and Writing Awards




So I told you a few weeks ago when my photo was accepted into the Drexel University National High School Photography Exhibit...well, I've received more recognition since then!!!! 
The two photos above both received awards from the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards at the regional level!!! 

The praying mantis picture got a Gold Key award which means that it will be sent to national judges for a chance to win an award nationally. It is also the highest award that can be received regionally!!! 
The vulture picture got a Silver Key Award, which means I'll receive a certificate at a ceremony in February. My Gold Key picture will be on display at that exhibit, too!!

HOW COOL IS THAT! I am literally so happy and excited right now. I have a passion for photography and it's so rewarding for it to be recognized like this!!!

DONT FORGET TO CHECK OUT THE LATEST IN MY 365 PROJECT HERE.
