Are you a teacher or director in the Visual & Performing Arts?
Your students deserve to be recognized for their hard work and talent in the arts, and what better way than to nominate them for this month’s VAPA Student of the Month awards?
To be nominated a student must meet the following criteria:

- Exhibit outstanding artistry, personal growth, increased self-confidence or leadership through their work in the arts.
- Be in good academic and behavioral standing.
- Students cannot receive the monthly award more than once within a year.
Nominating Questions to Consider:
- Is the student a positive role model?
- Does the student go above and beyond his/her role as a student?
- Has the student made significant progress in your classroom?
- Has there been personal development, emotional growth and technical growth in their art journey?
- Has their art connected or contributed to the community beyond the classroom setting?
- Does the student exemplify great citizenship and character?
- For a student to be a well-respected citizen, they must be able to balance many different areas of life. They must exemplify outstanding characteristics both as a student, as an artist and as a citizen of the community.
