<p>Anyone here apply?
If so, what did you apply for?
When do you think they'll start releasing the results?</p>

2

<p>I applied for cinematic arts! Their adjudicating photography / film this week, so I think phone calls will start in two weeks.</p>

3

<p>I applied for writing! do you know when they’ll judge those?
Hopefully we both get in and see each other in miami! ;)</p>

4

<p>whoa no one replying…did no one on CC sign up for YA this year?</p>

5

<p>My D applied for Musical Theatre</p>

6

<p>Does anyone know any statistics (approx. how many apply and how many get an award)? I’m thinking of submitting something next year because it looks really really awesome, but I want a feel of how competitive it is.</p>

7

<p>About 10,000 apply. About 730 kids are merit ($100) or semi-finalists ($250) and the top about 170 kids get invited on an all-expense paid trip to Miami for the festival. I just got my call today (as I’m believe all finalists did) so I’ll be heading to Miami as a tenor. They took 25 singers. I’m incredibly excited and I hope it’ll be an amazing time.</p>

<p>@piano - Thanks so much for the info and congratulations! That sounds so awesome, hopefully I’ll find the inspiration to submit something really creative for next year’s contest!</p>

9

<p>You got called today? you’re so lucky! How come they aren’t calling writing yet, or did i not get in -_-</p>

10

<p>they called some writing finalists. I’m not one of them but eh. There’s always honorable Mention and Merit :)</p>

11

<p>Some writing finalists? Or were all writing finalists called on Nov. 3rd? And I hear honorable mentions/merits don’t find out their status till late Nov.</p>

12

<p>What exactly is “YoungArts”?</p>

13

<p>I just called Young Arts and they told me that all finalists have been notified already, but the list is not yet 100% final, because they have to check everyone’s availability first. so, I guess there is still a little bit of hope :-(</p>

14

<p>Idk…as much as I want to go to miami, I wouldn’t want to be someone’s alternative. I’d rather get HM or M and be done with it.</p>

<p>There’s already another CC YA thread with 11 pages. You might find some of your answers there:</p>
