1 The completed application form shall be sent to the secretariat of the Salon d Automne before the April 30th, For the present year, applicant artists can use one of the 3 available procedures below: A classical step, entirely carried out by postal mail; An 'automated' procedure, totally feasible online by electronic w ay (except f or the payment of duties); A 'mixed' approach, combining the two precedent ways (electronic and postal). You are free to choose the procedure that works best f or you. The forms of the 'classical' approach will be sent by or by postal mail, to all artists who exhibited in 2013, as well as to all those who are asking f or it. The two other forms will be available before the application deadline, via an electronic link open on the website of the Salon d'automne. To ease the work of data collection, we suggest to applicants, if possible, to use the online approach or the 'mixed' approach. The mixed approach allows you to complete your application form, at your own pace, on your computer, using a pdf form. It had been used by nearly half of the candidates in 2013!

It allows, now, if you wish, once you completed the form, to send directly to the secretariat, the administrative information that you have filled out on your computer, by clicking on the 'send' button which is located at the end of the form, (if you are connected to the Internet). You can also, as in 2013, attach the pdf form to an that you send to the secretariat of the Salon d Automne. The 'online ' approach is made via a secure link. The online form is near similar to the 'mixed' form, but you have the ability to send us, online, in addition to all administrative information, the picture of your artwork (directly from your computer, or from the 'cloud').
