2019 - 2020 National Youth Arts & University Arts Showcase
High School Freshmen Regional Honorees
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. If you're a current participant and 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.

The submissions deadline has passed for this season, but due to the response we will be holding another one for 2020-21:
