This year, the Alliance and its 81 regional affiliates reviewed more than 140,000 submissions of art and writing by creative teenagers from across the country. 1,000 young artists and writers earned national recognition placing them among the top 7% of all participants.

In June 2019 the winners will be honored at a celebration at Carnegie Hall in New York City. Additionally, the top-ranking high school seniors will have their art and writing exhibited at various galleries in New York City.
