YoungArts 2018-2019

I haven’t gotten my response and I don’t know if it’s because I didn’t win or I haven’t been notified. I kind of want to call but I don’t want to be pushy. Has anyone called?

Writer here! Any other writer willing to exchange/discuss works? Still haven’t heard back, though. I think I did not win, all I can do is hope. Message me if anyone wants to talk!

Writer that hasn’t been notified. Hoping that there is still hope. :slight_smile:

I haven’t been notified either…and after all my hard work, I even turned it in early… :-/ :frowning:
It’s like scholastic all over again xD

Has anyone heard anything on visual arts? I’ve scanned the internet and I can’t seem to find anything

Any theatre people notified?

Also starting to lose hope. I feel like my poetry might not fit the mold that other Youngarts poetry winners seem to fit. Is it just me or do they have a certain aesthetic they gravitate towards?

@Pentatonix123 I totally agree! They do have a certain type/aesthetic. So I have very little faith that I actually have any shot for any type of award :frowning:

From what I have seen, the writers usually have an aesthetic. It covers controversial or unusual topics. I checked out the winner from last year in my section and it was very much a personal style of writing. Just hoping for the best, regardless.

FYI, my fellow writers, do not loose hope! There are six sections in writing to be won/informed:
NON-FICTION | NOVEL | PLAY OR SCRIPT | POETRY | SHORT STORY | SPOKEN WORD

So I assume it will take a little longer than the other disciplines. But I can’t say, it is just what I hope hahah:(

@lebookworm0110 I’m hoping all of us get some sort of good news!

I’ve seen one finalist for visual art tagged on Instagram…@15cjames kind of nervous I think they are either from ny or no…I’m still trying to be optimistic tho…are their different sections for visual arts ?

@Razor123 Ok, thank you for the update! I’m not sure, my sister applied in VA. I’m just trying to figure out if she still has a shot, but I can’t find anything on VA results

Yeah I haven’t seen anything either I applied to…it’s so nerve racking @15cjames

@lebookworm0110 Thank you for the update :slight_smile:

Has anyone got any news who wrote for script?? I haven’t seen anyone from my discipline but it may be because it’s uncommon :frowning:

@tatamang I’m afraid not :frowning:
Has anyone heard anything else for Short Story?

@Lunarlitgend Ugh. I wish they would say which disciplines are done being announced. I might have heard no one because of how uncommon it is or because they did not announce them yet, and there’s no way of finding out which. :frowning: no one around me applied.

And i haven’t seen many short story winners, or none at all on twitter. Don’t lose hope! This is a really confusing process and it seems like they’re being random aha.

Has anyone heard from poetry yet? 99% sure I didn’t win but it’s okay anyways (I have two more years)

@wistfulwords I saw something on twitter about a poetry winner for this year
