A Hutchinson High School senior has been recognized with a national American Vision Award this spring.

Corson Androski received his national American Vision Award for his photography, “Life as Viewed from a Crypt.” The work was judged at the Kansas show earlier this winter in Wichita and now has received the national award.

This is the first national American Vision Award received by an HHS art student. Androski’s artwork was part of his International Baccalaureate work at HHS.

Out of 200,000 entries in the Scholastic Art and Writing Awards each year, only 1,400 receive national awards. Less than 100 national American Vision Awards are made each year.

This is the second national award Androski has received for artistic endeavors. A year ago, he received a national Gold Award for a video. Androski received a national Gold Key for his Kansas State Fair video in the 2011 Scholastic Art & Writing Awards Program.

As a national winner, Androski has been invited to the National Scholastic Art & Writing Awards ceremony later this spring at Carnegie Hall in New York City.

The Scholastic Art & Writing Awards date back to 1928. The awards have encouraged more than 13 million students, recognized more than 9 million young artists and writers and made more than $25 million worth of awards and scholarships available.

Androski’s art instructors at HHS include Ginger Mayfield, Jack Wilson and Deb Ringler.
