Emma Larson’s self-portrait titled “Colors Beyond the Naked Eye”
The Linn-Mar High School Art Department is proud to announce that senior Emma Larson has received a Gold Key award in the Scholastic Art and Writing regional competition for her self-portrait titled “Colors Beyond the Naked Eye.”
Founded in 1923, the Scholastic Art and Writing Organization runs the longest-running and most prestigious recognition program for creative teens across the United States. The competition begins at the regional level, where students can earn Gold Key, Silver Key, or Honorable Mention awards. Larson’s Gold Key award now qualifies her to compete at the national level, with national winners to be announced on March 26, 2025.
Larson will be honored on March 8th at the Belin-Blank Center at the University of Iowa in Iowa City for her outstanding achievement. Congratulations to Emma on this impressive recognition and best of luck in the national competition!
