ADJUDICATION

Not all entries will be chosen for Spring Show.

Large-scale, multi-component projects and integrated campaigns will be favored.

Creators of projects selected for inclusion in the Spring Show will be notified by the email included in the submission form.  So it is important you submit with an email you check regularly.

FAQ

How many projects can I submit?

You may submit up to 3 separate projects. If you need to resubmit a project, you should email advertising@academyart.edu with the subject line “ADV SpringShow Resubmit”

Can a group project be submitted?

Yes! There is a place in the form to include those additional student names.

Would a group project count as one of my three projects that I can submit?

If the student who submits that project wants to also submit three other projects, please notify the department at advertising@academyart.edu to get a project cap exception.

My instructor says he/she submitted my work for Spring Show. Do I need to do anything?

Yes. Students must fill out the submission form for each project submitted. Any work recommended to ADV in any other form will not be considered.

Can I submit work from a non-ADV class?

Students can submit projects created in a major class or competition from April 6, 2019 through April 17, 2020.

Who picks the work to be included in Spring Show?

Once the submission deadline passes, work will be collected and blindly adjudicated by the ADV Directors and Faculty.

Hello Students! On behalf of the ADV/WNM departments, we hope that you’re doing well and that your adjustment to these unconventional circumstances has been smooth. As always, the department is here and ready to help with any questions or concerns you might have.

In the meantime, below is a video check-in from Co-Directors Andrea Pimentel, Fred McHale and Nikki Kipple.

As you have all heard, the Academy will be closing its buildings until the end of March. The ADV/WNM departments would like to remind all students that you can and will still have access to help and office hours through the duration of the closure. These will be conducted via Zoom—URLs and official days/times for both ADV/WNM are as follows:

As always, please feel free to reach out to the department if you have any questions or concerns.
