2019 - 2020 15th
Annual National Youth Arts Awards!
 National
Youth Arts
is excited to begin announcing the winners of our 15th Annual National Youth Arts Awards to honor outstanding work
by youth in the arts. This year's award winners were selected from nominations by a panel of
more than 50 judges
and reviewers.
In addition to the youth who performed in schools and youth arts companies, anyone
age 18 and under who performed at
a show reviewed by a judge was also considered for the NYA awards, as well as the adults who participated in the youth productions backstage (directors, set designers, costume designers,
etc.) and guest adult Performances in productions
designed for
youth. College artists are eligible for our University Arts (UniArts)
Awards presented in conjunction with the National Youth Arts Awards. Thank you all for your incredible work and
all the unforgettable entertainment over the past year!
Obviously, due to the pandemic, this year will be far different. We will be posting the awards and nominations, but we won't be holding any live awards ceremonies. As each region's awards and nominations are set, we will add links below and send the notifications to the various theaters and schools. Links to PDF printable certificates will be created for each award and nomination, and we'll be adding submitted headshots, production photos, and videos to the ceremony pages.
