  Your home domestic press is probably the most impressive, so we should have some of that. However, we also have to prove that you are an "international artist," so we need press that is not from your home country. Obviously, the more impressive the better, but anything helps. It need not be in English. We need old and new press. We have to prove that you are an artist with sustained success. To do this we need a mixture of press from throughout your career. Ideally, please send us six good reviews, features, or interviews from your country, and six pieces from other countries (as many other countries as possible). In total you should be sending us about twelve pieces of press.
  
  
• 7. Is there a significant amount of press (12 substantial pieces or more) about the group that is already in English?
  Yes No

  Yes No
  If yes, please provide a link to the relevant article or chart:
• 9. Please list the full name and occupation of three important individuals who would be willing to write testimonial letters about the group. These can be friends or business acquaintances, but the authors cannot have a direct financial interest in the artists' securing a visa, and they should be able to speak to the artist's commercial or cultural achievements. These people should be able to write from a position of authority on the subject, so they should be important (or important sounding) in the industry.
