@dreamthief001 What category of Writing did you win in?

Any Theatre notifications?

@Lunarlitgend I’d rather not say for privacy reasons since sometimes there are only a couple finalists per category, but not novel. I’m really not sure what type of order they are doing this in haha!

@dreamthief001 Ohh okay, that’s alright I get it

Anything on visual art?

the YA office just closed since its 5:30 EST now. Do you guys think they already finished calling finalists today or they’re continuing tomorrow?

@icravedeath I’m pretty sure they’ll continue tomorrow. After all they started calling Finalists at about 2:00 or 3:00 pm I believe.

Just my thought, but I think that all the Merit and HM have been emailed. I only say this because it would not be fair to email them tomorrow. I know last year my daughter didn’t respond to go to regionals for about 2 hours after email sent. She was originally told it was full, but later they let her go. If they emailed them tomorrow regionals would be full already. It’s possible the Finalist will still be getting calls tomorrow. Not sure.

Nothing so far. I guess I’ll either assume I didn’t make it or hope they just haven’t notified everyone yet…I really hope they haven’t notified everyone. Also, congrats to all you finalists and other awards!!

that is an interesting point, and maybe this is an arbitrary way to conclude something, but twitter is just so dead rn that i can’t believe they are even close to being done notifying people. last year it was total mess of tweets as people started getting notified

@dreamthief001 I saw a couple of instragram tags of finalist that received emails. But nothing on Twiitter

I guess that means I’m not a merit or honorable mention winner :frowning: I guess that means I didn’t get in unless I somehow miraculously landed a finalist spot. sigh

I kind of have a feeling i didn’t place anything either for visual arts.

I have faith in you though! @glamourbiscuit

@Razor123 Thank you so much, and I have faith in you too! ? I’m just wondering if they EMAILED all the finalists today. I hope that isn’t the case.

Hey guys! I just saw on twitter that YoungArts replied to someone, saying that not all of the calls went out today and all (honorable mention, merit, AND finalists) will be notified by December 1! Don’t give up hope everyone!

@tatamang Oh, thank goodness! I was so sad. I guess there’s still hope! Honestly, though, I’m not that optimistic. Guess I’ll just have to wait and find out.

@FlameAlchemist Same, but all we can do is see! Good luck to all of us!

That means there is hope for the rest of us! :smiley:

I’m wondering if it’s by the area of the country? My daughter and her friends in CA all haven’t heard anything and she goes to a top notch Arts School that has had many winners in the past. So - any West Coast notifications yet?
