What Are the Teeny Awards?

The Teeny Awards are a celebration of creativity, talent, and the incredible achievements of teens in the arts. Each year, our amazing network of arts and culture partner organizations nominates their own "Outstanding Teens", shining a spotlight on young people who are making waves in the arts and cultural scene.

A panel of arts advocates, educators, and alumni then selects a stellar slate of "20 Under 20" award winners.
