At Stage 1, applicants will be asked to confirm a ‘primary’ art form or specialism. They will then be asked to add any other art forms or specialisms that have an explicit focus in their programme. This will be asked afresh in Stage 1 and won’t be carried from what applicants provided as part of their ‘Intention to Apply’ submission.
There aren’t specific art form committees and there is no specific art form budget allocation, so applicants from different art forms will not be treated differently and all will be assessed against the same criteria included in the guidance.
