The technical and financial arrangements for the first competition should be finalized by a Working Party of Experts as soon as possible, on the basis of the outline given in the Annex. ANNEX Outline prepared by the Working Party of Attachés from the Permanent Representations (Cultural Affairs) concerning a European sculpture competition      1. The European sculpture competition open to young sculptors will take place in principle every two years. On each occasion it must first be established that there are at least seven Member States taking part in the competition. The Ministers will set the date for launching the competition and the closing date for the national stage of the competition (see paragraph 2). They will ensure that one Member State volunteers to organize the European stage of the competition which will follow the national stage.        2. During the national stage, each participating Member State will either hold a preliminary national competition to designate three works or itself commission three works without a competition. The works could be submitted in the form of prototypes, maquettes, models or photographs rather than as completed pieces. These works (in the form indicated) will be forwarded to the organizing Member State by the closing date set by the Ministers. The costs of the national stage and of forwarding the works (in the form indicated) to the organizing Member State will be borne by the Member State concerned.       3. From among the three works submitted, the organizing Member State will arrange for the selection of a winner in respect of each participating Member State. To make this selection, it will convene an international jury consisting of qualified persons.       4. Prize-winning works will be given wide publicity by the participating Member States. Member States, museums, commercial organizations or private persons may put in bids for the works.
