Submissions are invited for works that respond to the theme of ‘Critical Action’. In the face of an ever-growing climate emergency and rising inequalities we welcome submissions that harness the potential of people, locality, materiality, and environment to positively shape our urban, rural and societal landscapes.  We also invite new and developing work that challenges the status quo and ‘imagines what is possible’ (bell hooks, 2012).

The quality and character of works selected should reflect the world within which we work to ensure the RSA’s influence and relevance.

Submissions are accepted in any suitable medium - including models, drawings, collages, photography and film/animations.

Applicants are asked to acknowledge their submission related to the set theme in the 'Artwork Description' section during the application process so that the selection team can better understand the connections being made.
