Nomenclature
Organization Name:
The first time the organization, National YoungArts Foundation, is mentioned, use the full name with the exception of e-communications and social media. The short name, YoungArts, can be used in subsequent references.Example:
“Founded in 1981, National YoungArts Foundation has announced the 2020 YoungArts Winners in the visual, literary, design, and performing arts.”
Please note: ‘the’ should never be used before National YoungArts Foundation.
Incorrect Examples:
Young Arts
YoungArts Foundation
National YoungArts competition
Program Names:
The full name of each program should always be used, as in the list below.National YoungArts Week
U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts
Alumni Designations:
Designations should follow the name in parentheses with the year, YoungArts Winner and discipline (capitalized).Examples:
Emmett Cohen (2009 YoungArts Winner in Jazz)
YoungArts alumnus Emmett Cohen (2009 Winner in Jazz)
An ampersand must be used for designations with U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts.
Example:
Cornelius Tulloch (2016 Winner in Visual Arts & U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts)
When listing multiple YoungArts awards in a designation, include all disciplines in alphabetical order using the most recent YoungArts award year—never include the award year for a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts designation.
Example:
Grace Weber (2006 YoungArts Winner in Theater and Voice & U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts)
No possessive apostrophe is used with YoungArts and ‘Winner’ is always capitalized in designations. Other references to a winner or winners are set always in lowercase. For example, “YoungArts winners receive financial awards, creative and professional development experiences working with renowned mentors, and become eligible for nomination as a U.S. Presidential Scholar in the Arts.”

Logos
YoungArts Logo
Our logo combines the full name of the organization set flush left on three lines. YoungArts logotype is a customvariation of Agenda Bold all caps with 170 tracking and the National and Foundation are set in Agenda Medium all caps
with 230 tracking and are about 60% as large as the YoungArts.
The logo can be displayed in black, white or 65% gray.
Black Logo
White Logo
The logo should be placed so that there remains at least a 1/4" between it and the edge of the piece on which it appears.
Generally, the logo should never be reproduced smaller than 1/4” (.25”) or 25 px in height. The smallest suggested size also depends on the context of the item or location in which it appears. For instance, a long horizontal billboard will require a larger proportional branding presence than a small oblong postcard. The suggested minimum height for the logo is 5% of the smallest measurement.
