Congratulations to our PND Mid-Central Illinois Region Scholastic Art Awards 2021 Recipients!
A panel of artists and art professionals selected their pieces from a pool of over 800 works coming from 30 schools in our Midwest region.
The Scholastic Art awards started in 1923. They have recognized the vision, ingenuity, and talent of our nations’ youth and provided opportunities for creative teens to be celebrated.
