The Orange County Register announced the list of nominees for the annual Artist of the Year program, and CUSD had 88 students nominated in the seven categories. There will be 16 semifinalists in each discipline named on April 23, followed by the winners and finalists named on April 30.

Students were chosen by a panel of teachers based on written statements, performance videos or design portfolios, and artistic resumes. During the final round of adjudication, students are interviewed by a panel of distinguished artistic professionals and faculty members from Southern California universities as well as a few representative high school teachers. Interviews include a live presentation by the students followed by a question-and-answer session.
