Calls
Applicants are selected in a three-stage application process by a jury with one or two internal and two external members. Once a year, in early summer, we publish our call for applications for the selection of the following year. Following the jury process, interviews are conducted with all selected artists, leading to a final selection. If you would like to be informed about our next call, you can subscribe to our newsletter here.
