All residency applicants must familiarise themselves with the rules and instructions for the residency programme. By submitting an application, the applicant acknowledges that he or she has read the rules and instructions and agrees to comply with them upon receiving a residence place.
Serlachius Residenssin työryhmä käsittelee hakemukset luottamuksella: mitään hakijan ilmoittamia tietoja ei anneta ulkopuolisille. Residenssiin työskentelemään valittujen työsuunnitelmat arkistoidaan pysyvästi. Ei-valituksi tulleiden hakemuksia säilytetään haetun residenssikauden loppuun asti.
The decisions of the residency working group are final; the working group does not justify its decisions, and they cannot be appealed. If so desiring, the residency working group may invite individuals for a residency independently of the search process too. All those invited must agree to comply with the same rules as those selected through the search process.
The residence agreement

Time schedules
The exact arrival date must be reported one month before the residency period begins. Any other relevant changes occurring before or during the residency period must be reported. If applicant is forced to cancel the granted residency position, we request that the position be cancelled in good time, no later than three months in advance. The artist ist liable for a hundred-euro penalty fee for cancellations, which are not done earlier than thirty days prior to the start of the granted period. A sick leave certification issued by an approved medical doctor exempts from the penalty fee. In the event of a cancellation, the working group will award the free place to an applicant who has been granted a reserve position or person the working group finds suited for this. If the applicant does not arrive at the residency in time and has not given a notice on a delay, he or she will loose his/her position in 24 hours.

The applicant must have adequate skills of Finnish or English language in order to cope in every-day communication and work environment. There are no restrictions as to the composition of a team or the number of individuals it comprises. However, the applicant must take constraints pertaining to the residential and work premises into account during the application phase. The application must be made by the applicant indicated, who must be a private individual. Residing at Serlachius Residency can only be temporary, i.e. official address of residence must be somewhere else.

Costs and final report
Residenssiasunnosta ja työtiloista ei peritä vuokraa. Vuokran sijaan asukkailta edellytetään vähintään yhden A4 pituista (n. 2 000 merkkiä) kirjallista raporttia oleskelustaan ja työskentelystään Mäntässä. Raporttiin voi liittää myös kuvia tai videoita. Raportti on toimitettava Serlachius Residenssille viimeistään kuukauden kuluttua residenssijakson päättymisestä. Mikäli raporttia ei toimiteta määräaikaan mennessä, peritään residenssiasunnosta ja työtilojen käytöstä käyttövuokraa takautuvasti jälkikäteen. Vuokran määrä on jokaiselta täysi-ikäiseltä residenssivieraalta 300 € / kk.
Serlachius Residenssillä on oikeus käyttää raporttia ilman korvausta oman toimintansa tiedotukseen, markkinointiin ja tutkimukseen. Käytön yhteydessä raportin tekijä on mainittava poikkeuksetta. Loppuraportti arkistoidaan pysyvästi yhdessä työsuunnitelman kanssa.
