 National
Youth Arts
is excited to soon begin announcing the winners and nominees of our 2023 & 2024 National Youth Arts Awards to honor outstanding work
by youth in the arts. We apologize for the delay and are grateful for your
patience. This year's award winners were selected from nominations by a panel of
more than 40 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!
