  • The suitability of the proposal, considering the nature and availability of the facilities
  • The relevance of the proposal compared with the objectives of the Association
  • The expressed willingness of the applicant to contribute towards the overall development of the Association.

If the application meets the criteria to the satisfaction of the Executive Committee, the applicant may be invited to an informal introduction meeting with representatives of the Executive Committee and/or studio holders prior to approval.
