To those saying the office closes at 5:30 est, I got my call at 8:30 lol. I guess they have people calling after hours
@ish2001 Congrats for your win!
@ish2001 Congrats dude!! Was this today or yesterday night?
@ish2001 congratulations!!! 
if you don’t mind me asking, what time zone are you in?
@ish2001 Yeah what is your timezone? And did you get your call today or yesterday night?
Could anyone confirm or disprove the theory about contacting winners alphabetically by last name? Or any other possible ways Youngarts has been contacting winners?
@Pentatonix123 They are not contacting by last name alphabetically. They’ve contacted people whose last names start with V before those whose last names start with L. As far as we’re concerned, the contacting is pretty random.
TO EVERYONE,
Young Arts said all would be notified before December 1. Remember some disciplines have smaller ‘subsections’ (like writing has six in total!!). I am sure that notifying ALL the winners/merits takes time. Also for each region too! Please do not get discouraged.
@lebookworm0110 But what about the list? Didn’t they say it gets released on November 28th? Wouldn’t all the winners be contacted before then?
@Lunarlitgend even then, there’s still a week and a half ish until nov. 28! there’s still hope for us all
does anyone know if they do it by subsection?
@icravedeath If you mean by category or by sections within category then I highly doubt it. All these notifications have been going all over the place.
TO EVERYONE
Again guys, I know it’s frustrating not knowing YoungArts system and order, but sometimes there are just certain things that we won’t know and we just have to accept that. It’s best we just give in to the fact that YoungArts is too inconsistent to predict. It’s better that way then trying to crack the code on their order because unless YoungArts tells us straight up we’re probably never going to get it, and if we keep attempting we’ll just add more stress upon ourselves and it’s not worth it. Again, just go with the flow and trust YoungArts will contact all the winners in time and hope for the best for ourselves and others who have yet to be contacted.
YoungArts has no order. They have a lot of merits/honorable mentions/finalists to contact per category and sometimes within EACH section within said category. Not to mention contacting with people from regions all over the U.S. I cannot imagine their team is more than 20 staff members? So let’s not assume their order. Do not lose hope, they said on Twitter that all would be informed BEFORE December 1. They said it, not me.
THANK YOU @lebookworm0110 Very well said!!!
Good luck today guys! I hope most of us get notified some good news
@glamourbiscuit @Lunarlitgend @icravedeath thanks for the love guys!
My call was Wednesday night, and I’m in central time
Hey you guys! hope you all get some good news. I don’t expect to get anything, especially after scrolling through the winners from last year and realizing that very few people my age won, and the only few who did win got merit. But here’s to next year and hoping!
Good morning–Has anyone ben notified for theatre? Have not heard anyone talking about it at all on this thread. Thanks :))
My feeling is that the vast majority of winners have been notified. I can’t imagine all those emails haven’t gone out. I know a finalist in jazz voice who got the call on Wednesday at the same time my daughter got her email. And she got HM in Pop voice as well and got another email the same time. I saw a poetry finalist on twitter that got a call yesterday. I can’t imagine they haven’t sent out all of those emails. I don’t understand why they are doing it this way this year. I get calling the finalists then releasing the list but at this point I don’t understand why they won’t just release the list. I’m kind of calling BS on their tweet to be honest…
And I saw a theater school post congratulations to their winners on twitter yesterday as well.
