How many poetry finalists have been called?
Hey guys!
I am actually applying in a world dance form? Is anyone else applying in this discipline?
Congratulation to all who have been notified and Good luck to all waiting to hear your status.
@osun001 @writer333 Iām waiting on creative nonfiction too :neutral: fingers crossed!!
have all poetry finalists been notified?
Congrats to everyone notified!!! any visual arts finalists?
So far the notifications that weāve seen have been in poetry, playwriting, short story, theatre, and classical music - did I get that right?
@DesiDancing I think you got that right. Earlier on this thread, someone said calls were supposed to go out on the 14th/15th. Is this still true or do you guys think most writing finalists will have been notified by the end of tomorrow?
Congratulations to all those notified! Is it safe to assume that at this point finalists are receiving calls only ?
@writer333 hmm itās hard to say, there are a lot of disciplines that are still waiting to hear back. Do you guys think that the calls are done for today? or are people still being notified??
@SingSing yes, only finalists receive calls 
the other levels will receive emails.
@writer333 I honestly donāt knowā¦ youngarts notifications never seem to have any rhyme or reason to how they go out. People might still be getting notified through the end of finalist notifications for all we know.
@SingSing yea Iām pretty sure only finalists receive calls, I was a hm last year and only received an email
I think itās safe to say that finalists in writing will still be contacted tomorrow. Iām in short story and I think all finalists in short story have been contacted for the most part. But weāll see
Iām also holding out hope ?
@DesiDancing @Lunarlitgend @bluets Is it safe to say all playwriting finalists have been notified?
Hoping that thereās more classical music to be announced tomorrow!
@writer333 as agonizing as it is, I donāt think itās necessarily safe to conclude anything for certain until finalist notifications are officially over 
although I do think that thereās a good chance that the majority of notifications for writing disciplines will probably be over by tomorrow
Hi, longtime lurker here! Unfortunately, my phone died this afternoon, but when I opened it I saw that I had a voicemail message from 305-377-1140. The voicemail mentioned my name and YoungArts and said to give them a call back, and also included an extension number.
However, I live on the West Coast so, by the time I called back, the office was closed! Can I assume this is a finalist call??? I donāt want to get my hopes up but at the same time, this seems similar to what happened to many finalists on this thread! For people who missed their finalist calls (@bassman81 ) is this similar to what happened to you?
Also congrats to everyone!!!
aaa does anyone know if the notifications for the novel subcategory have gone out yet? iām so nervous
@DesiDancing Ahhh yes I agree. Iām trying not to think about it too much.
@pandaberry Congratulations! Thatās amazing! I think youāre definitely a finalist if they called you lol. What category did you apply in?
Thanks so much!! I applied in writing/short story btw
