Youngarts 2019-2020

My d is also waiting on classical voice! Luckily she has next year to try again if things don’t work out this year.

Same here.

have all theatre finalists been notified already?

don’t know if it’s one of the same people mentioned who were called already (i suspect it might be), but a friend of mine posted her email congratulating her on being a poetry finalist ~15 min ago!

@braveandhonest ahhhh. did any of the winners on this form not receive an email? wanting to keep hoping

Anyone know if YoungArts has contacted creative nonfiction or novel finalists yet?

I found a typo in my work so … at least I still have next year to enter. But I do know that a friend of mine won for visual arts. Does anyone know if HM/Merit have gotten any emails yet?

@wistfulwords I’m sure one typo can be overlooked. Don’t lose hope! And I think HM/Merit emails will go out sometime after this week.

@wistfulwords do you think all visual arts finalists have been contacted?
Also, I turn 18 next year… can I still participate even if I am no longer in high school?

as long as you are 18 on December 1 of next year then yes you can still participate.

@b8rn8rd thanks!

I did see a couple of classical voice winners post on IG yesterday, none today yet. Good luck to all!

Hey! I’ve been lurking for a bit, but I have few questions that I was hoping someone could shed some light on? I applied for short story and poetry ( my first year to apply and also my last, sadly ) and was wondering if anyones heard if all the finalists for those disciplines have been notified? I’ve heard of the four short story finalists from here, and two poetry finalists, but that’s it. I’m holding out hope for honorable or merit, since I’m feeling discouraged about finalist. Although, it IS only day two of finalist notifications, so who knows.
Also, does anyone have any idea as to when notifications usually start and end for the day? Thanks to anyone who can help!!

( AND ALSO BIG CONGRATS TO THOSE WHO GOT FINALIST!!! )

My friend who does piano got an email today that he’s a finalist! And an oboist as well!

Does anyone know if they started contacting composition finalists?

Thanks for the info! I found it might be easier to keep hopes low vs. high. It’s easier to be pleasantly surprised than unpleasantly disappointed. Good luck everyone and congratulations to the winners!

Also, lots of people I’m sure will be contacted tomorrow and Friday; this is only the end of the second day.

so no cinematic arts/photo finalists have been called yet?

do they notify by discipline AND region? does anyone know which regions got notified for poetry?

@lonepineman I saw one film finalist on instagram that got notified just about an hour ago. Not sure if that’s the same thing tho :sweat_smile:
