Instructions


The Bellagio competition for scholars and creative artists is closed. We are not currently accepting applications for scholars and creative artists residencies. The next residency competition will begin on: Friday, October 01, 2010

Conference and Practitioner applications are accepted on a continuous basis throughout the year.

Your application must be in English.
If your work samples are not in English, please follow the instructions given on the form.

Requirements and selection criteria are different for each type of residency;
therefore, we strongly recommend you read our website before beginning your application.

We do not accept incomplete applications
All materials must be submitted together. We will not follow-up with you to request missing materials.

All application materials must be submitted online,
unless you are a visual artist, composer or filmmaker who needs to send work samples via post. We accept Word and PDF documents. If you are applying from a developing country, you may contact us to discuss alternate ways of submitting materials, if necessary.

The online form allows you to save and edit information.
You do not need to finish your online application in one session. You will be able to save the form and return to revise, edit and add information at a later date. Once you begin your application, an access code will be sent to your preferred email address. You may access your application and edit as many times as you wish using the code and your email address.

You must go through the form page by page.
Each page must be completed before you can move to the following page.

Your Bellagio application will not be sent to our office until you hit the submit button;
once submitted, you will receive an email notifying you that we have received your application.

We will contact your references after you submit your application
(a copy of the email will be sent to you). You must contact them beforehand, preferably when you begin your online application, to request a reference. Once you submit your application, your references will then have only two weeks to respond, so please give them as much advanced notice as possible. Please also send them a copy of your proposal. If you would like to send your references an early copy of the email they will receive from us, it is available online here.

Once you submit your application, no further changes will be allowed.

Please print out (or save on your computer) a copy of your application.
