YoungArts (previously National YoungArts Foundation and National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts, or NFAA) is an American charity established in 1981 by Lin and Ted Arison to help nurture emerging high-school artists. The foundation is based in Miami, Florida. In 1981, Ted Arison gave $5 million to launch the National Foundation for Advancement in the Arts.
YoungArts is noted as the most difficult and most prestigious literary, performing, and visual arts competition for high school students. If selected, it is an incredible testament to prodigious talent in the field. Approximately 6% are selected as Winners, with the top 1% selected as Winners with Distinction. Winners with Distinction are invited to compete for the Lin Arison Excellence in Writing Award (a $50,000 writing scholarship, only for writing winners), cash prizes of up to $10,000, and more. They are invited to National YoungArts Week, an all-expenses-paid experience in Miami, Florida.[1][2]
YoungArts nominates up to 60 candidates for consideration as U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts following participation in YoungArts week.
YoungArts disciplines
The YoungArts application consists of the following ten disciplines across the visual, literary, design and performing arts:
- Classical Music – composition and instrumental[3]
- Dance – ballet, choreography, hip hop, jazz, modern, tap, and world dance forms[4]
- Design Arts - architecture, interior, product, graphic, fashion and theater design[5]
- Film – narrative, documentary, experimental, and animation[6]
- Jazz – composers and instrumentalists[7]
- Photography[8]
- Theater – musical, classical and contemporary spoken theater[9]
- Visual Arts - paintings, portraits, landscapes, artworks, drawings, murals, artistic inventions and art projects[10]

A documentary television series entitled YoungArts MasterClass, in which program alumni are teamed with famous mentors, is in its second season on HBO. YoungArts has developed a study guide, based on the HBO series, for high school teachers with Teachers College, Columbia University.[13]
