all i know is that if you had yours sent away and you make it to art express, they dont send it back.

i THINK it is around when the results come out

i'm not sre on the exact dates, i'll see if i can find out when my stuff got shortlisted/accepted (for last year's expo) tomorrow. (i.e. today, but after i get some sleep :D)... from memory though, there's a few weeks wait between shortlisting and selection, at least...

Well, the guy from our school who got in last year only got his painting sent back last month or something. They are hanging up in the hallway of our school now.

*gets out filing box*

the letter that says i got shortlisted is dated november 4.
my letter of acceptance is dated december 6.

they're last years dates, they'll probably change though (by perhaps a week max, or maybe two, i reckon), so don't go circling them in your diary or anything.

you probably didn't see it

it was in the newcastle regional art gallery, the catalogue photo only had a few bits in it... i might've supposed to have gone on the regional tour, but i'm not sure. anyway i'm glad it didnt, otherwise the foamcore that some of the stuff was printed on would have got absolutely f*cked up. and besides, pensioners were stealing my safety cards... :p

yeah, there's a shortlist (i think it was about 800 people last year), then they contact you again to say if you did/didn't get in.

the final numbers over the past few years have been up and down, btween about 120 and 200-ish, i think.

we havn't recieved the letter yet, but when the kids in your class get all their art back one has a note on is saying DEAR PRINCIPAL "the following artworks have been detained for art express ladidadida"

then have student numbers underneath
me and this other kid got put aside for art express, and my teacher said we will get a letter soon, then in a few weeks a letter about if you made it or not
also you have to write something, and send them your diary and stuff
