Our Program
Regional Programs
The Regional YoungArts Awards programs are designed to promote and nurture young artists in specific regions throughout the country. YoungArts regional awards honor talented 17- and 18-year-old artists who participate in the national YoungArts program and who either receive national YoungArts awards or high ratings from our adjudicators.
Regional winners are named YoungArts outstanding young artists in their respective communities, and are eligible for additional awards beyond what they receive through the national program. Through the Regional YoungArts Awards programs, YoungArts is able to honor and reward many more young artists than is possible through the national program. This helps bring local attention to a specific area’s talented students. The recognition participants receive regionally is of particular benefit during the college and college-scholarship application process.
Regional sponsorship funds are used both for awards and for regional outreach activities to inform students and teachers about YoungArts, increase the number of students who participate in the program, and to promote general knowledge and support of the arts.
