STOP PRESS - Please Note continued from Page 44 The first distinctions assessment will be held in Bath on the 4th April 2012 Additional Guidance has now been published on the RPS website 1. Currently there is no minimum time requirement for a submission in Audio Visual and Moving Image, only a maximum time limit. This is to ensure as much flexibility as possible for candidates working in the new media. However, it is anticipated that many submissions will be close to the maximum limit. In making a decision about an application, the Panel will be primarily concerned with the quality of the submission rather than the length of it. 2. Candidates may wish to consider submitting two or more shorter pieces within the time limit in order to show their versatility. 3. As this is a completely new panel working to new criteria, there will be a two tier process. All applications recommended for a distinction will be reviewed by the Fellowship Board on the 23rd May and candidates notified of their results by the 25th May. Where a candidate is not successful, a feedback letter giving the reasons will be sent within 14 days of the assessment. 4. Candidates should be aware that the current criteria and arrangements will be reviewed in the light of experience and changing technology. Adequate notice will be given of any changes.
