Youngarts 2019-2020

has anyone gotten an email?

anything?

I haven’t seen or heard anything yet----i think someone said in previous years emails typically go out in the afternoon?

YoungArts posted on Twitter 3 hours ago that emails will go out today and the list will be posted tomorrow!

Waiting impatiently for emails to come out and I just wanted to say to everyone:

Whether you get hm, merit, finalist, or nothing at all, you are not defined by youngarts! While the accolades are amazing and I congratulate all who’ve rightfully earned them, judging is so subjective. Although I haven’t gotten any awards as of yet from youngarts this year, I’ve earned awards from other organizations such as Foyle and scholastic and all of them are so, so subjective. Even if your hands end up being empty, don’t hold it against yourself! Remember that students who win one award have been rejected from dozens, if not hundreds, of others. All you can do is keep on creating art or keep on performing what is true to yourself!

merit in short story

@liliunicorn Congrats!

And so it begins


Are the emails sent out at once??

No I think it trickles in. They generally tend to trickle in around noon

I just got notified that I’m an Honorable Mention winner in Writing (Creative Nonfiction)!!! Literally thirty seconds ago :smiley: I totally wasn’t expecting to win in writing, I was really banking on dance. So this is an amazing surprise!!

honorable mention in cnf!!! congrats to all of you, and regardless of these results, i am RIDICULOUSLY happy and proud of all of you for putting yourself out there. this is in no way determinant of your writing ability

ahh i wonder if all writing just got sent out :frowning:

@hihelloo doubt it but it seems like writing is the first to get emails

Ah im so nervous but ive decided Ill be happy regardless of what I get

Congrats to those sharing your good news! My daughter got Honorable Mention in Popular Voice for the 2nd year in a row. So excited for her! This is the final year she can apply so she is sad about that, but over the moon that she was recognized again!

I agree with the sentiments of @wistfulwords to not let the YoungArts results define you. You are all amazingly talented artists and these quotes say it best:

“Creativity takes courage” ~Henri Matisse

“Art enables us to find ourselves and lose ourselves at the same time” ~Thomas Merton

“Creativity is contagious” ~Albert Einstein

I got merit in photography :slight_smile:

For all the first year Merit and HM winners, let us know if you get into the Regional Program. Does it say when they will let you know if you get in? And huge congrats again!

what time were your emails sent out? wondering if they all came out at the same time

My daughter got Merit for the 3rd and final year in Singer/Songwriter. Is it for sure she can’t attend regional again? We live in Los Angeles and she did that one 3 years ago, but now she is attending college in Nashville and she is invited to one in Miami.

@user222 Mine came at 1 pm CST on the dot.
