About the Creative Youth Awards
The Creative Youth Awards (CYA) were founded by the Bay Area Creative Foundation to foster artistic expression and creativity in high school students. CYA Artists receive expert feedback, recognition and award opportunities for their creative projects. Our submission categories honor a variety of artistic media and disciplines within the arts. Artworks are reviewed by a panel of creative industry leaders and professional artists who share our dedication to inspiring creative exploration and celebrating artistic pursuits.
The 2022 Creative Youth Awards received over 650 submissions from Bay Area students and distributed $46,000 in cash awards. The CYA culminates each spring in the Creative Youth Celebration, a ceremony recognizing the achievements of our artists.
All artist applicants received a free year membership to MasterClass - the premier online learning platform that streams lessons delivered by recognized masters of their craft.
