Award Winner with Distinction in Writing (Spoken Word) Link to announcement page. by the The National Foundation for the Advancement of Artists.
This is a National Competition where Winners are chosen for their caliber of artistic achievement by esteemed discipline-specific panels of artists through an adjudication process that includes multiple rounds of review. YoungArts is an organization in the U.S. that supports artists across 10 disciplines (Classical Music, Dance, Design, Film, Jazz, Photography, Theater, Visual Arts, Voice, Writing) at all stages of their artistic development. This year in the National YoungArts Competition, from a record-breaking pool of 11,000 applicants across 10 artistic disciplines, 2025 YoungArts panelists selected around 800 of the most accomplished artists across the nation as 2025 YoungArts award winners, from which 169 artists were identified as award winners with distinction. As a YoungArts Winner with Distinction, Emily became 1 of 22 Writing winners, and 1 of 3 Spoken Word poets in the nation, who are invited to attend 2025 National YoungArts Week in Miami, Florida, in early January 2025. She is the 3rd student in JPS history to achieve a YoungArts Award at the highest level of national recognition, and the 1st in JPS history to do so in the Writing category. For the winners' list from all categories, view this link. At National YoungArts Week, her work will be further evaluated for cash awards up to $10,000, and will be eligible for nomination in the 2025 U.S. Presidential Scholars in the Arts, one of the nation's highest honors for high school students. In addition to YoungArts programming, the Writing Panel has decided to include one of her poems in the 2025 Anthology + Catalogue. From here onward in her creative and professional development, she will be eligible for exclusive support, microgrants and financial awards, and presentation opportunities in collaboration with major venues and cultural partners nationwide, becoming part of an intergenerational network of more than 22,000 past award winners. Some notable YoungArts alumni that have received lifetime support from YoungArts include Daniel Arsham, Jon Batiste, Terence Blanchard, Camille A.
