http://us.fulbrightonline.org/required-supplementary-materials-for-arts-applicants<br />
It is important that applicants identify their field of study according to the classifications<br />
found on the Fulbright website at the above web link. Applicants may not apply in more<br />
than one area of specialization, but should apply only for the one specialization which is<br />
most appropriate for their proposed study.<br />
Field of Study Specifications<br />
<strong>Materials</strong> submitted must follow the field of study specifications.<br />
For example:<br />
SCULPTURE AND INSTALLATION ART (sculpture, kinetic/ mechanical/ electronic<br />
sculpture, environmental sculpture and indoor installation pieces) –<br />
> At least two views of each work should be included. A PowerPoint file on a CD<br />
containing 15 images (150 dpi is preferred, but not less than 72) of at least 5<br />
different pieces should be submitted. A DVD or video of not more than three<br />
minutes of the sculpture in motion may also be included, but only for work in<br />
which mechanical or kinetic motion is an integral component.<br />
PAINTING (non-commercial) (painting, drawing, printmaking) –<br />
> Applicants may submit a PowerPoint file on a CD containing up to 10 images<br />
(150 dpi is preferred, but no less than 72) of current work. Other formats, such<br />
as DVD or print, will not be accepted.<br />
PHOTOGRAPHY –<br />
> Photographers must submit a portfolio or a CD (150 dpi is preferred, but not<br />
less than 72) with a maximum of 20 original works (prints) or images. Slides or<br />
other formats are not acceptable. Matted or mounted prints should not be<br />
submitted.<br />
DESIGN (bookbinding, ceramics, furniture design, glasswork, graphic design, interior<br />
design, jewelry design, metalsmithing, package design, papermaking, product design,<br />
needlework, software design, stained glass, textile design, weaving) –<br />
> Where not evident, applicants should submit an explanation of the method of<br />
production and materials used. While original samples are preferred, CD<br />
presentations are acceptable within the specifications below.<br />
> Artisans should submit a PowerPoint of 10 color images (150 dpi preferred, but<br />
not less than 72) of products executed.<br />
> In addition to a maximum of 10 color images, applicants whose work involves<br />
textiles should submit a minimum of six swatches.<br />
> Graphic designers (commercial) should submit 10 images of their work.
Designers of three-dimensional objects should submit a maximum of 10 color<br />
images rather than photographs of products executed. Where not clear, a brief<br />
description of the product illustrated should be included and listed on the bottom<br />
of Form 11, as well. A swatch, where fabric is involved, should also be attached.<br />
Identification and Labeling of <strong>Supplementary</strong> <strong>Materials</strong>:<br />
Each individual article must be labeled to show the applicant’s name, field of study, and<br />
country of application. The material submitted must be accompanied by Form 11 (find<br />
Form 11 at http://<strong>risd</strong><strong>careers</strong>.com/grants/fulbright/). Pieces should be carefully itemized<br />
on this form since it will be used as a permanent record during the competition. The<br />
applicant’s part in projects completed in collaboration with others must be clearly<br />
indicated.<br />
> CDs - In certain visual fields CDs may be submitted (see above). However,<br />
when a CD is submitted it is important that the software used to present the<br />
work, (Power Point, Abode Acrobat, Windows Media Player, Real Player or<br />
JPEG formats only) be noted on Form 11. CDs MUST be Windows compatible.<br />
Mac-only formatted CDs will not be reviewed.<br />
> PHOTOGRAPHS - A maximum of 20 photographs.<br />
> PORTFOLIOS (Include blueprints, drawings, prints, programs, reviews, scores)<br />
If possible, all material should be included in one portfolio. In the event items<br />
are submitted which are not firmly attached to a portfolio, each should be<br />
individually labeled to show the applicant’s name, field of study, and country of<br />
application. The date of execution of each work must be given.<br />
> DVDs - DVDs are acceptable as indicated under specific fields. Please indicate<br />
running time of each piece submitted. Tapes should be cued to the section of the<br />
tape you would like to be viewed. We will not accept videos or PAL and<br />
SECAM produced video, except as noted.<br />
Return of Material<br />
Return of <strong>Supplementary</strong> Material: <strong>Supplementary</strong> material to be returned by mail<br />
should be accompanied by a self-addressed label and sufficient postage (if the required<br />
postage is $1.00 or more, a postal money order or check payable to IIE should<br />
accompany material; if the postage is less than $1.00, postage stamps may be used). The<br />
return postage should be enclosed in a sealed envelope labelled with the applicant’s<br />
name, field of study and country of application. The amount enclosed and method of<br />
shipment should be indicated on Form 11. IIE will begin returning materials no longer<br />
needed on or about February 1. Candidates who have been recommended for an award<br />
should be aware that their materials may need to be shipped abroad for review by the<br />
supervising agency in the host country. This can delay the return of materials until July or<br />
August. IIE is unable to insure any material being returned. Material may be picked up at<br />
the Institute and applicants wishing to pick up their material should check “will pick up at<br />
IIE” on Form 11. Any material not picked up by April 1 will be destroyed. IIE will not<br />
return material C.O.D. Although due care will be taken in the handling of all materials,<br />
the Institute cannot be responsible for any item submitted. Applicants are advised to<br />
arrange for sufficient insurance to cover damage or loss of valuable items.
