Actions:
1. Pay "participant form" through the site of the Academy with a credit card. Part one work - £ 25, two works - 50 pounds. Better to send one work, rarely take two works of one artist.
2. Profile with all the chores you send by mail to the address.
3. Fill out the form according to the instructions, including you yourself assign a price to work (any price within a 5-or 6-digits).
4. Send an application deadline - March 12, an application must be there. The work in London, making a natural export permit. Work must be physically in London in early April.
5. If you're lucky, at the Academy of the selection committee include your work in the exhibition. If they like your work, they even printed postcards and posters (sell them in the museum shop), first ask you for permission to reproduce the work. (You will receive an official letter to ofigenskoy paper, with a crest and water marks in the family archive, place.)
6. From June 10 to August 18, people walking, watching, selects and buys.
7. At the end of the exhibition, if someone made a bid to buy your work, representative of the Academy contact you and send the proceeds minus 30%- is they take themselves.
8. If the work is not for sale, it must be picked up within a month it seems.
This is certainly a chore, so it's best if the work is sold.

Basically everything.

Costly part of this course logistics.
But if we can unite to share costs. I would like to send something. Anyone?? ))))

Given the logistics costs, and 30%commission of the Academy, the money does not earn, if not put the normal price. This is up to you to assess how much work - that would not be a bad bargain (still in London), but not to scare everyone there lords and Abramovich and Berezovsky.
In secret, I can say that I was there sold one work of young, unknown artist from St. Petersburg (though large, excellent) at a price similar to the cost of the new German medium car. But I was lucky, do not expect this success.

An average of about 12.000 applications around the world. Since the use tapestry hanging, then there are chances.

Something like this.
