ENTRIES for the Royal Academy’s Young Artists’ Summer Show are now open to all primary and secondary level students aged 5-19 in the UK. Supported by philanthropist Robin Hambro, it provides an opportunity to exhibit the best young talent in Britain. The Show champions the importance of art in education and celebrates the teachers fostering creativity in young people.
Students can enter their artworks via digital submissions in any media. The works will then be judged by a panel of expert judges, who will make a selection of works for an online exhibition. Set to open online in July a number of works will be chosen for exhibition at the Royal Academy – dates to be confirmed.

Prizes will be award to two inspiring artworks from each key stage and the winning students will receive a free practical workshop for their school, as well as a £50 art voucher for themselves. Additionally, there will be an opportunity for members of the public to vote for their favourite artwork in a People’s Choice Award and pick two winners to receive the same prizes.
