You can apply as a group via the online tool, also in addition to an individual application.

DEADLINE

The documents for the current call for applications must be uploaded in full by the application deadline on Tuesday, September 26, 2023, 23:59.

We strongly recommend that you submit your documents a few days before the application deadline to prevent server overloads towards the end of the deadline which may prevent you from submitting your application on time.

If a server overload does result in applications not reaching the studio office, no late applications can be accepted. Whenever possible, use the tool to upload your application ahead of time.
