YoungArts 2020-2021

@pianoman212 That makes me feel better. Don’t want to get my hopes up too much, though!

@tangierfarms That’s awesome! Do you know if they’ve finished calling all the film finalists?

congrats @tangierfarms!!

@NVStudent13 I’m not sure ! I’m in Los Angeles if that helps.

CM finalists were also starting to be notified yesterday night so keep an eye out!

It seems as though some photo finalists had been announced. Do you think they are going to continue today or did they notify them all already?

so is it true that all writing finalists have been announced? i’m still trying to hold on to a sliver of hope because i didn’t see anyone from the midwest get called yet

honestly, no one knows lmao.

Me too. I’m from the Midwest also so we shall see!

yeah, i just dmed them and they said finalist notifications have just begun and can continue through next week for all disciplines so

been stalking youngarts’ twitter replies this morning and seems like they are going out of their way to reassure people that notifications will be continuing for a while. even some people that were wondering about short story or poetry. maybe youngarts is just being kind?? but it does give me a fragment of hope.

yeah i’m worried about poetry too. i just checked their twitter feed and wow they’re being very kind

Tbh from talking to other winners from the previous years they really have a random list. Like other than some of the literary arts everything else is pretty jumbled so you can receive a call a few days after it seems like they finished your discipline(s).

Keep the faith everyone! I have a friend from last year who didn’t hear until the day before thanksgiving! So there’s still time❤️.

I am just going to live my life normally, and if I get a call then yay but if I don’t then there is always next year. Do y’all know if you can submit to YoungArts at 18 if you will be 19 by the time workshops happen?

I think you just have to be 18 by the deadline but check the FAQ on their website

@ninadavis I think–but not 100% sure-- that if u are graduating this year you can submit next year stuff u made senior year

Per the eligibility requirements in the FAQs, as long as you are aged 18 as of December 1, you may apply.

@pianoman212, is your last name in the first half of the alphabet? Seems everybody on twitter or fb has A-M last name.

@noodley yes, but people with last names starting with W and P have been informed. Also, a few years ago, my friend with an A last name was informed on like the last day of the week. Really don’t stress it.

@pianoman212 what discipline was your friend in, if you don’t mind me asking?
