Today, November 24, youngarts announced the winners of its 2026 National Competition. The annual award, which recognizes high-achieving artists ages 15–18 (or in grades 10–12) in the U.S., spans across genres like voice, film, theater, and, of course, dance. Each winner receives a cash prize of $250 (or, for YoungArts winners with distinction, $10,000), along with access to a private networking portal, YoungArts Post. Congratulations to this year’s winners, and especially to our fellow dancers!
