Bella Ravella, senior, was named an American Vision Nominee for her photograph “I, too, am America” Vol I. Ravella also was the recipient of the Gold Key Award. Five works, from across all categories and grades, are selected from those earning Gold Keys as the “Best of Show” for each local program as nominees for the American Visions Medals.

Senior Isabelle Schrader was awarded Silver Key, and junior Mary Jane Estes, Ravella, and Schrader all received honorable mention.

In 2020, Lipscomb Academy students held two of the five American Vision Nominee placements and won the top placement of the American Vision Medal with Mattie Ree Neal's, "The Artist."
