YoungArts 2020-2021

Anyone here applying under Visual Arts?

@roshabloo i tend to write more ya or epic fantasy lol … not quite what yarts is looking for. good luck with your novel in the competition!

and yeah i agree with you on the yarts v scholastic comparison … there really isn’t a lot of yarts winners, kinda intimidating lmao

Does anyone has trouble uploading a copy of their birth certificate? I uploaded a file at least 30min ago, and the website has been "Uploading file at “0%” for the last 30 min. Thx.

i’m brand new to youngarts and will enter in the classical music discipline for trombone

@houtx123x hhahaa thank you!!! ooh epic fantasy is v cool! ru writing young adult by chance?

@Roshabloo yep! wbu?

@houtx123x yeee yeee young adult scifi <3

I just submitted mine. I have no idea how it will fair since it seems the competition is incredibly steep, but i’m wishing the best for us!

Hey! I’m interested in applying this year! Does anyone know what the most common winning themes/topics are?

Yes! Maybe something close to your heritage?

Hi! I’m a senior applying for the first time. I submitted for short story. Good luck to everyone!

Does anyone know if it’s true that submissions close to the due date take hours to upload? My pieces still need a ton of work.

No. I submitted a modern/contemporary piano piece that was very long. Maximum it should take is around 5-10 minutes.

I guess now we just wait . . . they start notifying finalist Nov 13th right?

@RachelParent

on their website, they say they review applications for week 1-4 and start notifying finalist week 5. week 5 begins nov 13 i think

About a week until notifications start! Best of Luck y’all!

Does anyone know if they’re still doing notification by phone calls this year? Their website only mentioned emails.

I hope emails . . . seems a lot easier than phone calls and less stressful

They start notifying the 13th right? Good luck to everyone!
