The applications received from the above artists were in concurrence with Pro Helvetia - Swiss Art Council’s current mandate. The jury made its decision depending on the application's individual merit as well as on being able to find an appropriate host in Switzerland. Besides, preference is given to artists who are able to demonstrate the possibility of generating follow-up projects.
The selection in India was done by a jury comprising Girish Shahane, an art historian, curator and columnist; Suresh Jayaram, an artist and creator of an arts space called 1shanthiroad in Bangalore; and Chandrika Grover Ralleigh, Head Pro Helvetia New Delhi. For the Swiss artists, a short-list was prepared in-house by the specialist departments and the above selection on both sides has been corroborated by Pro Helvetia's Visual Arts Department in Zurich.
