<p>Really? Thanks!</p>
<p>My D applied for voice. Do you get an email or a call to let you know one way or the other?</p>
<p>Last year, the finalists got a call sometime around Thanksgiving. If you get a merit award or honorable mention, they send you a check via certified mail (so you get a mystery postcard telling you to go to the post office with ID to pick it up).</p>
<p>Thanksgiving? They said I wanted know my scores until mid-December…</p>
<p>*I wouldn’t know</p>
<p>They actually never tell you your scores. You can figure them out if you get an award, but otherwise there’s no way to tell.</p>
<p>Merit/honorable mentions come out mid-December. They have to notify finalists earlier than that for the sake of travel arrangements and stuff.</p>
<p>So basically would-be finalists should expect a call next week?</p>
<p>I would say sometime within the next two weeks or so, unless they’re doing things drastically differently this year.</p>
<p>Ok, I hope I get in!</p>
<p>Anyone else out there in CC-land who has sent in an audition/portfolio for the 2010 youngArts program?</p>
<p>My daughter submitted in visual arts. I have no idea if she’s a strong candidate, but it seemed that it’s a good thing to apply for, even if she’s a longshot!</p>
<p>Good luck! I hope your daughter and I get in!</p>
<p>OMG!!! My D just got the call and she’s a finalist. She is SOOOOOOO Excited. me, too.</p>
<p>congrats again!
out of curiosity, has anyone from her school won before? or has she competed in national competitions beforehand? and you certainly don’t have to answer, but do you mind if i ask what songs she sang? it’s so interesting to know about the winners’ history and what they choose to present across the different disciplines! </p>
<p>best of luck to her in miami and any college auditions!</p>
<p>Congrats POTO Mom! What category is she in? If she has any questions about anything, feel free to send a PM my way and I would be more than happy to help out or point her in the direction of alumni in her category.</p>
<p>My D is a soprano. Nobody from her school has ever won before. They don’t even submit. I found out about Young Arts from reading CC and that’s why we applied. We happened to be recording her college prescreening DVD the next day so she added one more song and that’s what we sent. Her private voice teacher had never even heard of the competition. That’s what I LOVE about CC. Wealth of info and great folks. I will pm her repertoire.</p>
<p>Congrats, POTOMOM! I didn’t know they were making calls already!</p>
<p>Did anyone get any callbacks?</p>
<p>I think all of the calls to finalists have been made, since the deadline for notifying youngARTS about Miami is on Monday. Don’t worry, though–there are still a lot of honorable mentions and merit awards that will be given out in December.</p>
<p>Where are you finding this info? I can’t find anything on the website.</p>
