The primary review criterion used by all advisory panels to make recommendations to the board, except as specifically noted otherwise, shall be the artistic excellence or quality of the applicant. Advisory panels shall review applications to make recommendations for grants and other forms of assistance according to the merit and artistic quality as demonstrated by the applicant's artistic work sample or equivalent, such as a site visit of the proposed activity, in order to make recommendations to the board. In the case of service programs and projects, the merit and quality of the service being provided to the arts shall be reviewed. The detailed program-specific criteria are described in parts 1900.1510 to 1900.2210. After reviewing applications, advisory panels shall recommend each application for full funding, partial funding, or no funding. If more applications are recommended for funding than funds are available, the advisory panel may use the mathematical tools of rating or ranking the recommended applications individually to determine funding priorities and the amount of recommended grant.
