Q: Should I assign CYA submissions to my class?

A: We applaud your efforts to encourage students to submit to the CYA!  We recommend against making a CYA submission required coursework, to ensure that students can enter in the creative discipline they feel most confident in. The CYA accepts one submission per student each year.

Q: Submissions are capped at 2,500. When should my students submit?

A: We encourage students to submit as soon as their creative projects are ready. Submissions will close if the max number of submissions is reached before the December 10, 2025 deadline.
