Travel and accommodation costs: This includes local transportation, daily expenses, travel insurance (including any costs related to special needs or health conditions), and accommodation. Transportation and shipping costs of artwork and production materials. Production costs associated with partnerships established by the project: workshops, fees for partner artists, etc. This does not cover any costs related to the production of a new artistic project.
Samples of the work for which the exhibition is planned, in addition to samples of the applicant's other artistic or literary works, will provide the jury committee with a comprehensive overview of the applicant’s career. The more details you share, the more complete a picture the jury will have of your work.
Applicants must explain the venue and conditions of the exhibition, as well as the partner hosting it. We understand that the agreement may be under development, not finalised, or not fully completed, so uploading the official invitation is not mandatory. However, it will help the jury committee better evaluate the application.

Applications that do not meet the evaluation criteria in terms of content will not be considered, nor will incomplete applications or those missing any of the aforementioned documents.
