2014 Awards  |  2014 Additional Nominees  |  Previous National Youth Arts Awards  |  Yearbooks  | RSVP

This year's award winners were selected from nominations by a panel of more than twenty-five judges and reviewers. In addition to the youth who performed in schools and youth theatre companies, anyone age 18 and under who performed at a show reviewed by a National Youth Arts judge was also considered for the awards, as well as the adults who participated in the youth productions backstage (directors, set designers, costume designers, etc.) and a limited number of guest adult performers in productions designed for youth. Thank you all for your incredible work and all the unforgettable entertainment over the past year!

The award winners will be formally presented with their awards on stage and nomination certificates will be available at the registration table for the nominees. The ceremonies honoring all of their accomplishments are held in different regions of the country including multiple ceremonies in California, Arizona, and one in New York City for the Eastern half of the country. 

Award winners will be listed below by the area of the country in which they performed. Only the early Los Angeles ceremony will be listed until the end of our regular awards season that ends May 31. The other awards will begin being listed in June as we collect the nominations. If you can't make it to your ceremony, you might be able to attend one of the other ceremonies if you wish.
