Hello Affiliate Partners,
This week, an illustrious group of artists, curators, writers, editors, professors, and other creative professionals have kept us busy as they adjudicate more than 19,000 Gold Key works from around the country.
As we look to the future and the rising costs of running local and national programs, we have decided to increase submission fees in order to provide students with the high-quality opportunities, scholarships, and encouragement they've come to expect from us. A letter to Affiliates announcing this change is posted in the Affiliate Resource Site.
Affiliate Partner renewal agreements will be distributed on February 19, 2019.

Celebrating Collaborators
|
Collaborative submissions are only accepted in the Film & Animation and Video Game Design categories. All collaborators must meet all eligibility criteria.
One team member creates an account, uploads the work, and lists up to four additional students who should be credited. Collaborators who are not listed will not be recognized.
If the submission receives an award, each collaborator will receive individual certificates and medals. When creating and posting lists of award recipients, please be sure to include the collaborators.

Tips from the field: Regional Ceremonies
|
Are you still planning your regional ceremony? Here are some tips from the field to create a memorable moment for students and educators:
- Involve educators as you plan the ceremony.
- Include a keynote speaker. Consider inviting an alum to share success stories.
- Keep the ceremony short and impactful!
- Create a special moment for students to be recognized on stage as a group or individually.
- Have a reception after the ceremony or during the exhibition.
- Find a way to get other members of the community involved, such as inviting elementary school art teachers.
- Decorate with flowers, then give them away to teachers.
- Take photos of the ceremony and share them with us!
- Invite your guests to share their experience on social media with #goldkey and #artandwriting.

Prying the monster's mouth open, t
he smell of chocolate chip cookies is suddenly released into the air l
ike prisoners escaping for the first time.
We place the heated pan on our cool stove,
and you insist I take the first bite.
The warmth of the gooey, melty chocolate coats my mouth i
n every corner and crevice.
My body fills with the same feeling of happiness that I felt w
hen my baby cousin grasped onto my pinky finger with her entire fist,
as if my digit was her only lifeline.
