Annual National Youth Arts Awards!
~ California - Los Angeles ~
 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 and, without the ticket sales, won't be able to provide award trophies. Links to PDF printable certificates are next to each award and nomination below. We'll be adding submitted headshots, production photos, and videos to the ceremony page over the coming weeks. Most of the production photos will come from the theaters, but if you have a headshot, favorite production photos, photos of you with your award/nomination, and/or a video to send in of you performing a song or monologue from the show or your acceptance speech, please email them to rob@nationalyouththeatre.com. If you would like to receive an email when the ceremony page is fully updated with all the submissions, please check the box on the Order Page. Order Page [Trophies/T-shirts/Yearbooks/Memberships/Artist Pages]: If you're an award winner and would like a trophy to go with the certificate, you can order one directly from our trophy provider or place the order with us. You may also order NYA Awards T-shirts, masks, a yearbook for your area, or have an artist page added to our website. Please email any headshots/production photos for this awards page, your artist page, and/or the yearbook to Rob Hopper at rob@nationalyouththeatre.com. 2020-21 NYA & University Arts Video Showcase: Award winners and nominees may submit a video of their performance of a musical number or monologue for the 2020-21 Video Showcase using this form: http://www.nationalyouththeatre.com/news/news_nya_showcase2021.asp.
