Ian update:
The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards 2013 national winners were announced today. This year I won a Gold Medal for my film Day Shift, a Silver Medal for All My Dreams music video, and a Silver Medal for my whole portfolio. Day shift also won an American Visions Award, and a Best In Grade award. The national ceremony is in May at Carnegie Hall in New York City and for the first time will be streamed live online. Scholastic has been a huge part of my life in the last four years, and I thank everyone at the Alliance for Young Artists & Writers for their support and encouragement.
Congratulations Ian. And have a blast at Carnegie Hall. (Again.) Worth A Dam is so enormously proud of you. With about two months left to go on your senior year, the world is definitely your oyster. Whether you end up at Cal Arts or SCAD in the fall your professors will soon be scrambling to take credit for what is certain to be an awesome career of varied and inspiring achievements. I’m so grateful our paths crossed.
It seems like only yesterday that I was thrilled to discover this for the first time.
