And please do not send files via WeTransfer, Dropbox or other FTP services. Also, we do not accept any materials sent to us via the postal system.

* Your favorite, flattering (or not so flattering) photo of your fabulous ( or not so fabulous) self If you're accepted into our program this photo will be used to introduce you to tutors & peers, helping them to recognise you.
