As usual, there will be plenty of time for questions, discussions, and catching up with the Berlin FinOps community.

What does the jury’s decision actually mean? Working from real programme requirements, we’ll examine: * Portfolio selection, artwork documentation and presentation. * Artist CVs and biographies. * Artist statements and project proposals. * Selection criteria, jury decisions and common application mistakes. I’ll explain how curators and juries assess submissions, why strong artwork can still be unsuitable for a particular programme, and what a rejection can—and cannot—tell you. You’ll take away: An Application Blueprint for a selected opportunity, including the artworks to submit, required documents, working drafts or outlines and a submission checklist.
