The successful applicant will be presented with the award following a visit to their degree show by the curatorial team.

Important information
• The TACTIC and Sample-Studios team will visit both the LSAD and CCAD degree shows in June 2018.
• To be considered for for either awards, your interest must be registered by 6 June. Awards will be granted based on both the merit of the application and the work on display at the respective graduate exhibitions.
• Applicants should be willing to take up their residency before October 2018.
• Should an applicant have other obligations or opportunities, this will be taken into consideration and the residency may be postponed/expedited.
• Due to the limited resources of our artist-run organisation, we are unfortunately not in a position to visit degree shows outside of Limerick (LSAD) and Cork (CCAD) in order to consider applicants outside of these colleges. We do however have a number of different membership options for new graduates which you are welcome to apply for at info@sample-studios.com.
