ArtBook Prize Judges wanted

RCA Society + Thames & Hudson ArtBook Prize 2009

With the College's Degree Shows hovering on the horizon we are now planning the annual RCA Society and Thames & Hudson ArtBook Prize - where up to 25 graduating students are selected to win a prize each of £150 worth of books from world famous Thames & Hudson Art Book Publishers. The RCA Society invites all our members to participate in putting forward nominations for this year's prize winners or do as as much as they can in the prize giving activities - organisation - selection process - presentation party - communications... We are asking all members to go to the Shows (Fine Art, Applied Art, and the Fashion Show) and put forward their nominations to the committee - you can choose up to 3 graduates, from whatever discipline you feel best qualified to judge, whose work shows "exceptional skill and innovation in a particular discipline, as well as work that is critical and challenging across the area of art and design". We occasionally have a limited number of Preview tickets for participating members only - although the preview is lively it's not always the best environment to judge work. However, decisions should be taken and submitted to the Society as soon as possible after the preview. Your prize winner nominations for Show 1 should be received by us at the latest 3rd June - in time for the decision making RCA Society Meeting and presentation to the winners Send through your Fashion Show / Accessories nominations by 17 June and your nominations for winners of Show 2 by 1 July - again in time for the decision making RCA Society Meeting and presentation to the winners Email your nominations to jenni.boswell-jones@rcasociety.net or tel/fax to: 020 7481 1999 - or let any of the committee members know: (see all our contact details on this website) Dates for this year's Degree shows are as follows:
