Official: No 12,000 Cap On Entries To Ra Summertime Exhibition + Dates Change

OFFICIAL: There is no 12,000 cap on entries to the RA Summer Exhibition

This is an update - together with clarification - regarding my master Call for Entries for the Summer Exhibition - RA Summer Exhibition 2019: Call for 12,000 entries

In the middle of February, I was contacted past times the marketing squad for the Royal Academy of Arts together with asked to modify 3 things

• my reference to the 12,000 entries cap - which was REMOVED inward 2018
• the dates for announcements of the digital pick statement together with those selected for the exhibition - every bit these dates were changed (by a few days) before long after the statement of the telephone holler upward for entries. 

I duly changed my spider web log post.

However it appears that there's all the same roughly confusion (see the higher upward email) - therefore this post.

Absolutely everyone who submitted operate for the exhibit is having it considered past times the pick commission which devotes a huge amount of unpaid fourth dimension together with endeavor into that process. Anne Desmet

The 12,000 entries cap has been removed

The Cap on Entries introduced past times the Royal Academy of Arts no longer exists. 
Apparently it was removed in conclusion twelvemonth - but this was non announced at the time.

It likewise did NOT apply to this year's entry - together with I apologise if I confused anybody.

I'm guessing that:

• the chance in conclusion twelvemonth to opened upward to a greater extent than spaces for the exhibition together with the fact it was the 250th meant they wanted to able to selected to a greater extent than industrial plant from the opened upward entry.
• the entry fee income is e'er welcome....

Pity they forgot to cite that the 12,000 cap had been disbanded!

Please note, I'm likewise non the solely individual quoting the 12,000 cap inward relation to this year's entries.

New Dates

The novel dates are marginally different.

Apparently they changed the website together with the leaflet but made no other announcement.

This is why those of us who download on the twenty-four hr catamenia the telephone holler upward for entries opens were all the same working off the commencement document uploaded to the website - together with why my post which was published the same twenty-four hr catamenia the telephone holler upward for entries opened had the master dates.

Below is what it directly says inward my master post

• Shortlisted industrial plant from the commencement circular of pick volition hold upward announced on [THIS IS AN UPDATE] Thursday xiv March 2019
• The terminal listing of exhibitors for the Summer Exhibition volition hold upward announced [THIS IS AN UPDATE] on MONDAY 20 May 2019

This means:

• digital pick is a twenty-four hr catamenia earlier
• final pick is 2 days later.

So I advise you lot modify your dates inward your dairy/calendar if you lot were working off the master announcement.

I've suggested to the Royal Academy that it would hold upward rattling helpful when CHANGING things, if these could hold upward highlighted inward an e-mail to those who are interested inward the exhibition together with signed upward for notifications.
