2019 - 2020 National Youth Arts & University Arts Showcase
High School Freshman National Finalists

Congratulations to our National Finalists! The judges will be ranking the finalists in each age group, and after we get the results we will begin posting the Top Ten and counting them down from there on social media before updating the website with further results. If you haven't already, you can still email a headshot and brief program bio for the website (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.

Due to the response to this first video showcase, we will be holding another one for 2020-21:
