YoungArts 2020-2021

Congrats!! I’m losing hope since it seems they’re on Cali rn, but I’m super happy for all of you!

I think that they may be going down a list right now and calling numbers? Like I don’t think there is a regional, alphabetical, etc. order. They are calling writing finalists now definitely.

No call. I’m just gonna prep for next year and let myself be pleasantly surprised if I get an Honorable or Merit.

same lol when I watch my submissions back I don’t think I’m getting finalist so if I get anything it just will be a nice surprise

@houtx123x i feel like it could be possible. It seems like they’ve gotten most of them but maybe there’s a few left! I’m in a similar position of hoping I might get a call but not being sure how realistic it is. I hope we both become finalists. Good luck to you!

@chirpypop @catcreature293 wowowow congrats!! if you don’t mind me asking, how late in the alphabet are you guys’ last names? i’m curious if they’re doing alphabetical

I’m trying to stay neutral rn becuase I was looking at the finalist list from last year and it is mixed up but there are also coincidences? Like two people next to eachother from poetry or from the same region? I’m hoping that is the case in the way that calls are going.

damn the excitement in this thread is killer. congrats to all the finalists and to those who are still looking for notifications, keep on dreaming. you never know. if you don’t get a phone call from the 315, it’s not a big deal. there’s always honorable mention and merit, which is prestigious as well.

The notification process is sooooo slow

Does anyone know how many have been called for creative nonfiction this year? How many finalists are typically called for creative nonfiction?

has anyone gotten a call about photography yet?

has anyone gotten a call for design or visual arts?

^^^
Do they announce all finalists today or is it staggered throughout the week because it seems like only writers have found out today

It said on their twitter that the calls BEGIN today so maybe they are alluding to that?

@photonerd15 when I DM’d them on Instagram they said they’d be sending notifications through this week and next to finalists. They said they’d be done before thanksgiving.

one of my friends got finalist in theatre!!

Does anyone know when film finalists will be called? I made the bad decision to only apply to one discipline and am stressing like hell.

in some unfortunate twist of events, my phone completely broke two days ago (the touch screen completely does not work)???

does anyone know if they’re sending emails to the finalists? or are they only calling as of now? (i’m ss by the way)

Film, Jazz, VA/DA, and CM seem to be going out later this week. I think they’ll be finishing up theatre and writing today/early tmr afternoon

@chirpypop yay! congrats to her! :slight_smile:
