2019 - 2020 2nd Annual National Youth Arts & University Arts Showcase!
Showcase Menu

This year we are held our first online general showcase for all areas and all ages (college and younger), and we were so excited to post more than 300 showcases from around the country! So much talent, and so inspiring to see you all making art during the times when we need it the most.

The submissions deadline has passed for this season, but due to the response we will certainly try to hold another one next spring. If you're a current participant and haven't already, you can still email a headshot and brief program bio for the website and yearbook (and a resume if you'd like us to include it in a portfolio that we'll put together for the agents we're in contact with). There's a possibility that eventually, after it's considered safe to resume large group settings, we'll be able to have some of the honorees perform in a live showcase. The highest-ranked adjudicated NYA & University Arts showcases will also be eligible for both regional and national honors. We will hope to have the first regional and national honors announced after Memorial Day Weekend, after which there'll be another round of grueling judging to reveal each age group's top national honors!
