YoungArts 2020-2021

@noodley they were both instrumentalists. I haven’t heard any composer notifs yet.

I know of one Classical Voice finalist per a FB post. She was notified Tuesday. Anyone else else hear of CV finalists?

omg wait wait u went to iyws too? what year? i was session 2 this past summer but they did a virtual two weeks bc of covid :frowning: i don’t think i knew of anyone from ne ohio in my session but we might still know each other just from being from the same area haha

Omg hi I went for season 2 in 2019 when covid wasn’t happening. That’s awesome to meet a fellow iwys member!!

between the waiting for this and the waiting for my early college decisions to come back I am but a small orb of anxiety

from youngarts Twitter, We are on par with previous years in terms of the number of Finalists we have this year. While I cannot give you an exact number, there are typically anywhere from 150 to 170 Finalists across disciplines.

do they call on weekends

Any calls today?

Today has been really quiet

Yeah, it’s very ominous

Honestly I think that they are done calling for the most part. I didn’t expect anything - I literally submitted the day of the deadline when I was really tired. As someone who has taught speech classes even I would not like my own performance lol (not to say that if I had done it before I would not have done better because I’m pretty confident performing but between phone banking, speaking at events every other week and senior year - it’s not the best combination per my energy). Whenever competitions come out I get nervous for absolutely no reason but I’m really happy for everyone who got to finals!!! Y’all are awesome and worked so hard for it. You really deserve this - ICONS ??

Yeah we can just wait until honorable mentions or merit come out. I think they’re done and are just leading us on

In the past it was very active around this time. For some reason it’s very different this year. Wish it would be a bit more transparent. People are getting used to the quietness. Not a bad thing to stay calm and focus on other equally important matters

it seems like they were really active on tuesday but have been quiet since, could they have made all 150-170 calls though? it doesn’t seem feasible

yeah they were really active on tuesday, somewhat on wednesday, but quiet since, but it feels like there are lots of people that they haven’t notified yet…

wack

Doesn’t seem like they called yesterday or today at all.

Most recent Twitter post: “We have different staffers going through different discipline lists at the same time. Just because someone was notified for one discipline, doesn’t mean all of those Finalists have been contacted.”

Someone just posted that they won in cnf on twitter

does anyone know if youngarts works on the weekend? i feel like they’re dragging this on and honestly idk why.

I wonder if that tweet means that honorable mention and merit emails have started going out?
