http://us.fulbrightonline.org/required-supplementary-materials-for-arts-applicants
It is important that applicants identify their field of study according to the classifications
found on the Fulbright website at the above web link. Applicants may not apply in more
than one area of specialization, but should apply only for the one specialization which is
most appropriate for their proposed study.
Field of Study Specifications
Materials submitted must follow the field of study specifications.
For example:
SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION ART (sculpture, kinetic/ mechanical/ electronic
sculpture, environmental sculpture and indoor installation pieces) –
> At least two views of each work should be included. A PowerPoint file on a CD
containing 15 images (150 dpi is preferred, but not less than 72) of at least 5
different pieces should be submitted. A DVD or video of not more than three
minutes of the sculpture in motion may also be included, but only for work in
which mechanical or kinetic motion is an integral component.
PAINTING (non-commercial) (painting, drawing, printmaking) –
> Applicants may submit a PowerPoint file on a CD containing up to 10 images
(150 dpi is preferred, but no less than 72) of current work. Other formats, such
as DVD or print, will not be accepted.
PHOTOGRAPHY –
> Photographers must submit a portfolio or a CD (150 dpi is preferred, but not
less than 72) with a maximum of 20 original works (prints) or images. Slides or
other formats are not acceptable. Matted or mounted prints should not be
submitted.
DESIGN (bookbinding, ceramics, furniture design, glasswork, graphic design, interior
design, jewelry design, metalsmithing, package design, papermaking, product design,
needlework, software design, stained glass, textile design, weaving) –
> Where not evident, applicants should submit an explanation of the method of
production and materials used. While original samples are preferred, CD
presentations are acceptable within the specifications below.
> Artisans should submit a PowerPoint of 10 color images (150 dpi preferred, but
not less than 72) of products executed.
> In addition to a maximum of 10 color images, applicants whose work involves
textiles should submit a minimum of six swatches.
> Graphic designers (commercial) should submit 10 images of their work.

Designers of three-dimensional objects should submit a maximum of 10 color
images rather than photographs of products executed. Where not clear, a brief
description of the product illustrated should be included and listed on the bottom
of Form 11, as well. A swatch, where fabric is involved, should also be attached.
Identification and Labeling of Supplementary Materials:
Each individual article must be labeled to show the applicant’s name, field of study, and
country of application. The material submitted must be accompanied by Form 11 (find
Form 11 at http://risdcareers.com/grants/fulbright/). Pieces should be carefully itemized
on this form since it will be used as a permanent record during the competition. The
applicant’s part in projects completed in collaboration with others must be clearly
indicated.
> CDs - In certain visual fields CDs may be submitted (see above). However,
when a CD is submitted it is important that the software used to present the
work, (Power Point, Abode Acrobat, Windows Media Player, Real Player or
JPEG formats only) be noted on Form 11. CDs MUST be Windows compatible.
Mac-only formatted CDs will not be reviewed.
> PHOTOGRAPHS - A maximum of 20 photographs.
> PORTFOLIOS (Include blueprints, drawings, prints, programs, reviews, scores)
If possible, all material should be included in one portfolio. In the event items
are submitted which are not firmly attached to a portfolio, each should be
individually labeled to show the applicant’s name, field of study, and country of
application. The date of execution of each work must be given.
> DVDs - DVDs are acceptable as indicated under specific fields. Please indicate
running time of each piece submitted. Tapes should be cued to the section of the
tape you would like to be viewed. We will not accept videos or PAL and
SECAM produced video, except as noted.
Return of Material
Return of Supplementary Material: Supplementary material to be returned by mail
should be accompanied by a self-addressed label and sufficient postage (if the required
postage is $1.00 or more, a postal money order or check payable to IIE should
accompany material; if the postage is less than $1.00, postage stamps may be used). The
return postage should be enclosed in a sealed envelope labelled with the applicant’s
name, field of study and country of application. The amount enclosed and method of
shipment should be indicated on Form 11. IIE will begin returning materials no longer
needed on or about February 1. Candidates who have been recommended for an award
should be aware that their materials may need to be shipped abroad for review by the
supervising agency in the host country. This can delay the return of materials until July or
August. IIE is unable to insure any material being returned. Material may be picked up at
the Institute and applicants wishing to pick up their material should check “will pick up at
IIE” on Form 11. Any material not picked up by April 1 will be destroyed. IIE will not
return material C.O.D. Although due care will be taken in the handling of all materials,
the Institute cannot be responsible for any item submitted. Applicants are advised to
arrange for sufficient insurance to cover damage or loss of valuable items.
