How to apply?

Nominations and application dossiers must be submitted to the Ministry by the competent authorities (usually government agencies) of eligible countries or, if so agreed with the competent foreign authorities, by the Czech Embassies in their countries. . Applications sent directly to the Ministry by individual applicants will not be processed. Fine arts and performing arts students/graduates are moreover required to attach a sample of their artistic work, e.g. photographs, video/audio recording of a musical performance etc. Foreign authorities present the nominations before the deadline set in the relevant agreements, in most cases by 31 March 2016. The closing dates for applications fixed by the competent foreign authorities are necessarily earlier (the deadlines may be shorter by several months!).
