The Register is proud to announce the 2022 semifinalists for Artist of the Year.
For each discipline — theater, dance, instrumental music, vocal music, film, handcrafted visual arts and computer-assisted visual arts — 105 semifinalists were chosen by a panel of arts teachers from among 646 nominees based on applications, performance videos, art portfolios, film samples, and artistic résumés.
The seven disciplines are further divided into specialties. For instance, in the specialty of theater, a student would be nominated in one of the following specialties: acting, musical theater performance, or theatrical design.
During the final round of adjudication, students are interviewed by a panel of distinguished artistic professionals and faculty members from Southern California universities. Interviews include a live presentation by the students followed by a question-and answer-session.
Of the 105 semifinalists, 22 finalists will be identified, one representing each specialty. (A maximum of 24 specialties are eligible, however this year, no students were named as semifinalists in the specialties of street dance and sculpting and metalwork.) In addition, one student from each discipline, seven in total, will be named as a 2022 Artist of the Year.
The Artists of the Year will be announced on May 1.
