Update! They replied back to me again saying it was a mistake, and that finalists are still being contacted!!! Here it is:

Hey! I was the redditor who originally posted that all finalists were notified on tuesday. I did so because YoungArts emailed me that all finalists were already notified. BUT, yesterday, YoungArts sent a follow-up email stating that finalists are still being notified. I don’t know why they told me the wrong information? It seems like they were telling other people that, too. So, it seems that notification calls are still going out. Sorry for the confusion. I wish they posted this on their website so we wouldn’t have to wonder. Have a good day and good luck!

Congrats!!
For the Feedback program you have to be a sophomore or a junior in highschool right?
yeah, I think so!
Yes, because they want it to benefit those that might apply again the following year.

Dang really? I would’ve loved to have feedback for improving my portfolio during college right now
And this is really the only competition I know of that gives out feedback which is amazing
Thanks for the information

honestly, the feedback isn’t super helpful. i got it two years ago (when I was a sophomore) and it was only a few sentences for my entire portfolio, which was in the novel category

hey! i received feedback last year, and it also wasn’t super useful for me. there are tons of peer editing groups and young writers who can definitely provide more critical/insightful feedback, so i wouldn’t really sweat it.
