2021 DMAA Online Application
Digital Media Arts Academy 2020 Application (for the 2021-2022 school year)
The REGULAR ACTION application is due by midnight on or before February 19, 2021. This is the final day to apply for the DMAA. Students applying at that time will be notified after March 1, 2021.
All applications received on or before January 8, 2021, will be considered for EARLY ACTION. Early action applicants will be notified of acceptance in February.
There is no special consideration given to students who apply prior to the early action deadline and no requirement that early action applicants accept their admission if offered. Early action simply allows applicants and their families to learn their acceptance status about a month sooner than regular action applicants.

If submitting digital photos or artwork, please include between 3 and 6 examples of your best ORIGINAL work.
If submitting a video - please include work under 5 minutes long.
The final deadline for this project and the DMAA application is February 19th. Digital work can be uploaded using the link below.

We will be evaluating projects based on your storytelling and effort.

4.) Export movies as mp4 files. Photos and illustrations can be turned in as powerpoint, keynote, pdf, jpg or png files.
5) IMPORTANT - Include your name in the filename of your work so we can identify it.
