If you guys want I can Email YoungArts and ask if they’ll be calling Finalists. Would you guys like that?
@Lunarlitgend Yes! That would be helpful.
Hey guys I also emailed Youngarts and they said
Hello,
A list of winners will be up on our YoungArts website December 2, 2018.
Thanks and Good Luck!
It seems strange that theyre inconistent.
That doesn’t make any sense that they would vary so much regarding the winners list. Are they trying to just confuse us and they’ll end up releasing a couple of days from now?
I just got an email back from Youngarts saying that the winners list will be up on December 2.
This is odd because on the Website, it says that it will be no later than December 1.
I’m a teacher, and this is the email they sent me yesterday:
This message is to inform you that we are notifying YoungArts winners by phone or email this week. Please note that the complete list of 2019 winners of all award levels (Finalists, Merit, and Honorable Mention) will be posted on our website on Wednesday, November 28.
Thanks @NJNYvt. I will say historically only Finalists have been notified this much before the winners list goes out so I’d expect that if a phone call or email hasn’t happened by the end of the week that doesn’t mean you didn’t make HM or Merit. Those results go out when the list goes out. I have always gotten the list emailed and frantically scanned for my daughter’s name. Then she would get an email shortly after that saying she was a winner.
if anyone gets a call or email, please let us know! thank you to everyone for keeping us informed!
This was my question…
Hi YoungArts!
I’m aware that you’ll be notifying the winners by Email, but I was wondering if you’ll also be calling Finalists this year before the list is released? Or will you just be Emailing all levels of winners before the list is released?
Thank you for considering my question 
This was their response…

They didn’t even answer my question XD

How did you get the list emailed to you - or was it posted? I know that time is critical to sign up for the week long thing - so how is that sign up done? Via email, website or phone, etc?
For those that are wondering how to tell what phone/email you will be contacted on - go to Acceptd - and then click on the magnifying glass next to your submission line. That will open up your actual application with the main email and phone number - in our case, it has my daughter’s phone number and my email (since she NEVER checks her email - the usual case with her generation). I hope that helps! Looks like we will all be sitting on pins and needles on Nov. 28. Is there a way to set an email to text notification so we don’t have to stare at our phones/computers the whole day? I wish I were more tech savvy!
so i imagine they’ll start calling or emailing finalists tomorrow then. nov 28 is about when they released the list last year. so exciting!!
@dreamthief001 Yeah, I highly believe that’s when they’ll start.
So are all finalists going to be called this Thursday, or will it extend onto Friday?
Omg, I just woke up and got onto this forum. I cant believe it’s probably gonna be this week ahhhhh! I’m so nervous! Good luck to you guys! And let us know if you get a call
@tripletmama the email on her app is mine. She also has her email on there as well but the email on Acceptd is the same as it was when she first applied 2 years ago. I got an email when they released the winner’s list with a link to the list. She got a separate email shortly after that with info on how to sign up for the wait list for Regionals.
Just looked up old emails. YA sent out the winner’s list to everyone who applied at 2:14pm on 11/29. D got a “Congratulations from YA” email 3 minutes later asking if she wanted to sign up for the NY regional. She emailed back and got her confirmation at 2:24pm and made the list. It is absolutely time sensitive but also by discipline. Bottom line is if you win and want a spot in the regionals send that email confirmation back within minutes!!
So are all finalists going to be called this Thursday, or will it extend onto Friday?
@dancingflower I think it’ll start this Thursday and extend to Friday, if not Saturday. Because they don’t usually call ALL Finalists in one day. I don’t even think that’s possible xD
UPDATE! They must be notifying differently this year. My D just got an email that she won Merit in Jazz voice. I don’t know if that means Finalists have already been called and also don’t know if that means it’s the only category she won in…but she just got that email.
@SpartanDrew OMG Congrats to your daughter!!! 
You guys must be ecstatic!!
And I think you’re right. I think they’re doing it differently this year. I don’t think they called Finalists, if they did then it’d be all over Social Media and I’m sure someone would’ve mentioned it on the chat.
@SpartanDrew congrats!!
And, that is such a weird and new way of notifying people, but major congrats again!
