Application
procedure
Candidates have to join the Académie
Desprez as a preleminary to their application.
The candidates have to submit to the
commitee six copies of an application file in wich they
introduce themselves and give a detailed description of the
contents and the plan of their study or realisation project.
Then, they may be invited to present
their project to one, several, or possibly all members of the
Académie Desprez who might suggest modifications so as to
redirect the matter, give it a better relation to the working
programmes defined by the Academie Desprez for the current season, and
give it a higher profile. Therefore, candidates may be requested to
present a restructured file.
The application file is then submitted
to the Board of Directors for final approuval.

Grant
allocation
The jury consists of the members of the Board of Directors.
The Director of Research and the Head of Studies decide
upon the selection of the granted projects. The final decision belongs to the
president.
De facto members of the Board
of Directors (General Manager and Artistic Director of Drottningholms
Slottsteater and Director of Sveriges Teatermuseum) eventually decide upon the
projects that require their direct contribution.

Projects
naming
The Director of Research names each
accepted project with the name of a historical figure closely related to Drottningholm, Gustave III and Desprez,
that symbolises the fecundity of Franco-Swedish cultural
relationships and moreover represents close links with the
contents and the form of the project itself.
Each candidate gets the task of writing
a little biographical note upon this figure.
That process mostly aims to:
- arouse each candidate's interest,
whatever his project is, in the especially rich and
complex aspect of intellectual and artistic life of that
time ;
- relate the intellectual thought and
working processes of the XVIIIth century with
those of today ;
- build the basis of a biographic dictionary upon the Franco-Swedish relationships during
Gustave III's reign.

Grant
delivering
The Académie Desprez delivers his
grant to the laureate once the project is accomplished, that is
when receiving a final result (models, essay, art work, etc...)
approuved by the Director of Research and the Head of Studies.
A certificate will accompany the
payment, to attest that the laureate has received a grant from
the Académie Desprez.
The amount of the grants is minor and, thus, cannot be considered as a
wage.
