The 35th Young Artist Awards ceremony, presented by the Young Artist Association, honored excellence of young performers between the ages of 5 and 21 in the fields of film, television, theatre and the internet for the 2013 calendar year. Nominations were announced on March 30, 2014. Winners were announced on May 4, 2014, at the annual ceremony and banquet luncheon held in the Empire Ballroom of the Sportsmen's Lodge in Studio City, California. Live entertainment for the event included 19-year-old country music artist Kaitlyn Baker.
Competitive categories for the 35th annual ceremony recognized young film, television, theatrical and internet performers in leading, supporting, guest-starring, recurring and voice-over roles, as well as ensemble casts. Receiving the most nominations for the year is the Hub Network program Spooksville, leading with a total of nine nominations. Voting was undertaken by former Youth in Film Award/Young Artist Award winners, from 1979 to 2011.
Established in 1978 by long-standing Hollywood Foreign Press Association member, Maureen Dragone, the Young Artist Association was the first organization to establish an awards ceremony specifically set to recognize and award the contributions of performers under the age of 21 in the fields of film, television, theater and music.
