Skowhegan 2014

[milllla]

waiting...

[bannedinbc]

I searched and found a thread from last year about Skowhegan; people were getting notified in early April, so we probably have another month of waiting.

[milllla]

yes, you're right. trying not to think about it

[serendip]

Did anyone submit video? I noticed the views on the work I sent them stopped going up last month...

 

Judging from last-year's forum, this is a bad sign, no?

[bannedinbc]

same for the videos I submitted.. probably a bad sign, yeah.

[R.ricardo]

Mine shows 7 loads, 4 views. The number of loads keeps going up but no new views the past week.

anyone heard of acceptances or rejections yet?

 

(supposedly this is the week when people hear word)

[artskewlisapyrmaidskeme]

I would really like to know as well.

 

I'm in a bind due to another opportunity that I need to make a decision about by Sunday. I get the suspicion based off Vimeo plays that I might have made it to a late round of decisions so any info on if they have even started e-mailing decisions would be a huge help. 

[yayjulieyeo]

Haven't received email yet as well. Judging from when the 2013 applicants received their notice, I think we can expect to hear from them by tomorrow-hopefully...

[benditaepifania]

I am waiting to hear too... I hope they will send us notifications this week

[catfan666]

thanks guys.

 

yeah. i'm also in a bind of weighing different options - wish i'd hear of an acceptance/rejection so i can start committing to plans with certainty...

 

good luck to everyone who applied!

[peinture]

have not heard yet --- i'm too scared to ask my references if they've been contacted? do you guys know usually how that process works? 

[artskewlisapyrmaidskeme]

I spoke with someone at the office and their target for e-mail notification of decisions is this weekend but he said that he cannot promise that they will get them out this weekend as they are still in the final stages of the decision process.

[frez83]

Decisions have started to go out via email.

[yayjulieyeo]

I haven't heard from them yet.   

 

That sucks thekylemeyer, I'm sorry to hear that. 

 

[yayjulieyeo]

I'm going to camp!

[yasshole]

How old are most of you? I am thinking about applying to Skowhegan next year, but I will be 33 and wonder if that will be awkward in relation to the age of most of the participants. I know they accept anyone over 21, but... I sort of don't want to be one of two "old folks" at summercamp, and might try for something more like Yaddo, Bemis, MacDowell, etc. 

[Czarina]

No! I know people well over 30 who have gone to Skow--  and any case, you're never too old to do anything you want!

I just came back from Skowhegan, and this year there was a very diverse age group. The oldest among us was 45, but it really didn't matter. Everyone got along so well with each other.
