1. This year, each teacher may submit up to 12 individual works of art and up to six student portfolios. Three works included in each portfolio may also be entered as individual pieces and are exempt from a teacher’s total individual count (but both entry fees must be paid). See full instructions on saa.rmcad.edu.

2. All fees are waived for Boulder Valley School students due to the floods!!!

3. Students graduating in 2014 who submit portfolios are eligible to have their work reviewed by the regional colleges and universities offering scholarships to Colorado’s Scholastic Art Award program participants. For each student who wishes to be considered for a scholarship, please submit the following when mailing or dropping off your entry packets:

 • an Artist’s Statement written by the student

 • one letter of recommendation from someone who can speak to the student’s artistic potential

 • a printed copy of the scholarship entry form that the student will complete at saa.rmcad.edu

Any student (grades 7 – 11) may apply for a Young Artist Colorado Region Scholarship. Please visit the
