To be eligible, you must be able to answer ”Yes“ to these statements:
- I am either a citizen of the United States, a permanent resident/green card recipient, or I can demonstrate that I am legally able to receive taxable income in the United States.
- I am in grades 10–12 or 15–18 years of age on December 1 of the year I am applying.
- If I’m selected as an award winner with distinction, this would be my first time attending National YoungArts Week.
These requirements are for a past application cycle and are for reference only. Requirements will be updated for the 2027 cycle, which opens in Summer 2026.

What YoungArts delivered blew any and all expectations out of my mind. The opportunities, the connections, all of the things that YoungArts has to offer as an organization and as a home for artists is something that could truly be impossible without it.”
