Application notesSubmissions are made via an online form during the application period. Applicants must submit a 500-word proposal in English for an idea-based group exhibition. The proposal should not contain links or additional materials. Applicants must also list three potential artists, though this list is not shown to the jury and can be changed later. The jury of over 600 people judges proposals based on the idea, not grammar or the applicant's background.
