Barely made the deadline last night…
Which categories did you guys submit in? Also, will be we notified in late November or early December?
Good luck to everyone!
I submitted to four poems to poetry; this is my first time submitting and I’m a senior so I’m really nervous! I believe that in the past years notifications came out mid to end November.
@shakuton nice! I submitted two pieces to short story. This is my first time, too and I would love to win anything, but I’m not feeling too confident 
@Yarnweaver I wanted to submit to short story myself, but the 20 page limit killed me. Most of my short stories were too long for that limit so I just stuck to poetry. I’m not too confident either because there’s so little writing finalists picked, but it’d be really nice to win and go to Miami for the workshops and performances!
@shakuton haha yeah I had to really try to write actual short stories rather than my usual “short” stories/wanna-be novels. tbh at this point I’d be ecstatic with winning Merit :,)
@Yarnweaver Getting a merit is a realistic goal! Plus next year, if you’re still eighteen around this time, you can still resubmit. I know someone who resubmitted while a freshman in college and got Honorable Mention for the novel she published 
@shakuton really!! I thought you couldn’t submit after you graduate. Then I have one more chance after this haha
@Yarnweaver Yup! So take the time to revise and whatnot if you don’t get the results you want this year. The hard work would probably pay off. If it makes you feel better about your submission, we can swap pieces if you’d like to. My poetry submission is lowkey horrible T~T
@shakuton omg I can guarantee my submission is 589028320x worse than yours; it was so rushed…
does anyone know how prestigious winning youngarts finalist would look to colleges?? i submitted for poetry this year as a senior haha (last chance!)
@sizetwoshoes It’s very prestigious, since YoungArts is well-known (I think) and such a small percentage of artists win Finalist. Hope we all win something :)))
Hey there! I applied to YoungArts for Photography, so I’m in the boat with the rest of you. Good luck, guys!
I applied to Theater and Playwriting
@ectobiologust @obsessedwithtv is this your first year?
@Yarnweaver This is my first year, yeah! I’m super excited, but also, super nervous!
@ectobiologust same! I kinda wish results came out sooner haha
@Yarnweaver Same!!! I’ve been reading up on old threads to see about when things have been released the past few years. Fingers crossed!!!
Yea its my first year. Hope I get in!
My literary teacher told my class today that around 13,000 people are applying and 685 people are usually chosen. Crossing my fingers extra hard now! T~T Good luck to everyone! I hope we all achieve the results we want to get.
13k!! danggg yeah hopefully we’ll all be report good news come November
