2022 Young Artist Award Winners Virtual Concert

Administered by the City of Gaithersburg and supported by the Kentlands Community Foundation, the Young Artist Award Competition is a juried event that provides talented musicians ages 12 to 18 with an enriching artistic experience. This year’s virtual competition was held conservatory style, with the students competing against each other regardless of their musical instrument and without individual instrument categories.

The 2022 Young Artist Award winners are:

Grand Prize Winner: Joseph Ahn

First Place: David Wang

Second Place (tie): Joanne Fan & Yifan Li

Third Place (tie): Daphne Wen & Allen Yoo

Honorable Mention: Briggs Williamson & Maren Lewis

The Carrie McMahon Dietz Award for Excellence, which is presented to the Gaithersburg resident who scored highest in the Competition, goes to David Wang. This award recognizes the late Carrie McMahon Dietz for her longstanding commitment to the Young Artist Award program.
