YoungArts 2018-2019

Personally, I think that not all of writing is notified. Twitter would be all crazy if everyone was notified.

@Zoe528 Yeah, all the literary magazines would be posting a ton of congratulation posts. The three I read/edit for have all contacted me saying they want to post something for the YA winners in their journal and that they’re pretty much rolling in as of now.

@Zoe528 I guess?? How many people are they notifying per day?? Does it usually take this slow of a process??

This is really random and disorganized xD

@wistfulwords Oh, so I assume most writing winners have been notified then?

I mean, this is the last year I’m eligible and my first year applying. But, I’ve done some looking around on other threads and whatnot and this seems pretty unique for their notification schedule.

@Zoe528 Yeah this is…interesting. Does that mean they’re notifications will continue on tomorrow? Have ALL the finalists been called?

I got a call yesterday for visual arts, I’m from the west coast

What time did you get it? @Agridulce

i can’t stress enough though to make sure you guys check your spam!! that’s where my finalist email went and ive heard the same from a few other winners too

@dreamthief001 My Spam got deleted and beforehand when I checked there was nothing in there. So I’m assuming the Email got deleted, I haven’t been notified or…I didn’t place.

@Lunarlitgend ah i know the wait is killer! but you’ll know for sure on the 28th at least!

@dreamthief001 Okay. Thank you for the reassurance Dream I really appreciate :slight_smile:
But wait does that mean people who don’t get notified, even Finalists, still have a chance of seeing their names on the list?

By the way it’s 5:30pm EST so does that mean notifications are done for today and will continue tomorrow

@Lunarlitgend i dont think so… because the email has a link to sign up for the regional event. it wouldnt make sense to add a persons name to the list without notifying them because they’d never get the link. also signup for the regional event ends on the 21st.

Hello everyone–were any theatre applicants notified about any awards?

Hey guys it’s 5:30pm EST so does that mean notifications are done for today and will continue tomorrow

I hope I’ll get something tommorow - or I didn’t place but I’m still holding onto my last sliver of hope.

also don’t feel down if you don’t win, you guys! I know someone who got rejected twice and only got an honorable mention senior year but she won a ton of contests such as scholastic and her writing skills helped her get accepted into a ton of awesome colleges. Like people have mentioned before, it’s totally subjective so if you don’t win it doesn’t mean anything but if you do win congrats!

@wistfulwords Thanks! You too dude!! :smiley:

@wistfulwords and no they’re not doing it alphabetically. It’s completely random as far as I’m concerned XD

I just got the email from SCAD about participating in Youngarts and know it’s rejection time LOL. Last year the email from a college got my hopes up but it means nothing.

Also like I have had friends win previously, and writing is extremely subjective for sure. My one friend won finalist before, submitted the pieces to Scholastic. Didn’t even earn an Honorable Mention from regionals for either piece. I also know another friend who got a NSP spot from Scholastic and was still rejected from YA.
