This program year, more than 300,000 works of art and writing were submitted to more than 100 affiliates of the Alliance for regional adjudication. From the outstanding pool of regional Gold Key recipients, an impressive panel of creative-industry experts chose more than 1,900 of the most talented students—representing 47 U.S. states as well as students in Washington, D.C. and American schools abroad—to receive national medals. This year’s list of distinguished jurors included artist Andres Serrano, Warhol Museum Director Eric Shiner, artist Wangechi Mutu and comic artist Dash Shaw. Works were judged on originality, technical skill, and the emergence of personal vision or voice. Teachers of national winners were also recognized with awards. This year’s 38 recipients from the Northern New Jersey District received a total of 41 awards in visual arts on the national level. Portfolio Awards are a selection of up to eight works by seniors that are judged as a unit; other awards are issued by individual artwork and students can earn more than one award.
