RA Young Artists' Summer Show 2025

Registration and submissions for the Young Artists' Summer Show 2025 is now open.

Children aged 4 to 18 can submit work and it's free to enter. Each student can submit one artwork and there is no theme. When you enter, you will submit an image of the artwork plus some information about the piece such as title, size, and some text written by the artist which can include why they created the work and what it means to them. A panel of judges will see the artwork and the selected pieces will be shown in an online exhibition. Some of the artworks will also be shown at the Royal Academy of Arts during July and August.

The artwork can be made using any material; it can be a painting, sculpture, photograph, installation, video, drawing, or a combination. There is no theme so artworks can be of any subject and it doesn't matter when you made the artwork, as long as you are between 4-18 years old when you submit it.
