Sewickley Academy Junior Awarded a Gold Key in the National Writing Competition


Junior Linsey Szabo's critical essay "Light and Dark" was awarded a Gold Key at the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards national competition. Her piece focuses on social media and how it affects interpersonal relationships.

As a regional Gold Key winner, Linsey’s work was submitted to the National Art and Writing Alliance for the national competition. Each year, according to the Scholastic Art & Writing Awards, the Alliance partners with more than 100 visual arts and literary arts organizations across the country to bring the Scholastic Awards to local communities. Teens in grades 7–12 apply in 29 categories of art and writing. Last year, students submitted more than 330,000 works of art and writing to the Scholastic Awards.

Linsey will have the opportunity be recognized along with the other National Medalists during celebrations including a star-studded ceremony in New York City at Carnegie Hall in June.

Linsey joined the ranks of very notable Scholastic Art & Writing Awards alumni

Congratulations, Linsey!
