So do they go through every single visual winner, then move on to the next category? Or do they do a few from each every day?
idkkkk I wish they were a little more āopenā so then I could like not stress out the whole week lmao
So far, the process has been completely random and a whole bunch of disciplines have been notified essentially out of order. The only visible pattern weāve seen so far is that finalists on the coasts are being notified more often, but outside of that, thereās not much to support the process being region-based, either
Good luck today. Sending positive vibes your way 
from youngarts twitter, Notifications have begun for all 10 disciplines. We have multiple team members calling Finalists one by one for several disciplines at the same time.
Per the YoungArts Twitter account: āFinalist calls could continue through next week for all disciplines (prior to Thanksgiving). Honorable Mention and Merit will be notified the week after Thanksgiving via email. The full winners list will be released on our website the first week of December.ā
Apparently honorable mention/merit awards will come out a week after thanksgiving.
any calls today so far?
Uggggh we seriously have to wait untill December for Merit/Honorable Mention?!
Thatās disappointing. Coupled with the fact that I got a spam call from Miami, this afternoon is stressful asf
Iām working tonight during the prime calling hours and Iām hoping youngarts intuits my work schedule and (being their chaotic self) decides to call me at the one time I canāt get to my phone
I thought it came out before the end of the month?
I think they wait to announce honorable mention and merit until all finalists are notified (which should be done by next tuesday), so it shouldnāt be long after that. last year, they announced them on their website two weeks after they starting notifying finalists (so they will probably announce around the 30th)
Any calls today?
thatās what they said on their twitter.
@alexdem no, super quiet today, quieter than yesterday. maybe they have called most of finalists on Tuesday.
iām confused by this calling schedule. thereās obviously more finalists to be calledā¦ so does this imply that theyāre making rolling decisions, and they havenāt finalized the winners yet? obviously we can only speculate, just curious what you guys think
Heads up, guys, just checked last yearās thread and thereās apparently an A and B-list system for calling finalists. The A-list calls are for finalists who can attend the national program in Miami, while the B-list calls are done for the next people in line after certain finalists announce that they canāt attend the program. I personally wouldnāt expect too much to come out of this, but itās something to at least keep in mind.
@darth125 so then are the B list finalists then honorable mentions if the A list can go to Miami? Also I saw somewhere on Twitter that the young arts week was gonna be virtual
@Darth125 but even A list, we havenāt heard many?
Interestingā¦
