I guess? My last name begins with a C. The others are F and H.
How much do you guys think YA Finalist will boost a transfer application? Do admissions counsellors know what it is? [I only knew about Scholastic in HS and didn’t know what YA was until about a year ago]
Yeah they’ll definitely know what it is! It will probably help you
Have the honorable mention and merit recipients received emails already?
@goldenslipper I don’t believe so. Last year Youngarts emailed everyone who applied the link to the winners list and you had to go on and scroll to look for your name. It was alphabetical. About an hour later winners got a Congrats email. I would expect it to be the same this year. Last year I don’t believe they called Finalists but I could be wrong.
Thank you! The finalists were definitely called this year. I’m hoping my child is recognized in the honorable mention or merit category–and if so, to register for the regionals as soon as possible. I guess now it’s just a waiting game.
What discipline did your daughter apply in? I’ve only seen photography, design, theatre, and creative non fiction finalists called so far.
Theatre. They were definitely contacted as finalists.
I think Dance was contacted, too. My daughter applied for Cinematic Arts but I haven’t heard that anyone has been contacted for that discipline yet.
Was Dance contacted for sure?
I saw someone announce they were a finalist for Dance on Instagram. Maybe they didn’t contact all of them yet, but this person seemed to have been contacted yesterday.
@rosemaryandthyme : Thank you!
I haven’t seen or heard about anyone in music or voice yet…still hopeful

Yes! We’re beginning to notify YoungArts 2018 winners & it’s SO MAGICAL. Lots of factors influence the timing & order of notifications, so sit tight & don’t go too crazy wondering if you’re next.
Someone on a diff college confidential thread said their friend was contacted for short story so they’ve at least started short story
Anything for voice, yet?
Haven’t heard anything for voice yet
My daughter got a You’re Nominated to Perform at Carnegie Hall and Sydney Opera House email because application to youngarts. Is this a good sign?
Mine did too. Is this your daughter’s first youngarts submission?
Just saw a poetry finalist on twitter
Good luck all
