Grand Designs has become one of Channel 4’s most popular shows since it first took to the airwaves over two decades ago.

The series, which began airing in 1999, sees host Kevin McCloud following contributors as they try and live out the ultimate dream of building their own dream home.

And with a new episode airing tonight, it seems there is no shortage of people wanting to bring their architectural projects to life – but if you’d like to apply for the show, just how do you go about it?

Here’s what you need to know…

How to apply for Grand Designs

Applications for Grand Designs are currently open, and more information is available at the Channel 4 website.

However, applying for the show is a little bit more complicated than applying for some shows, as you need to meet certain criteria to be eligible.

Currently, they’re on the lookout for people who have a project which is exciting and unique – if you’re doing something they haven’t covered before then they want to hear from you.

They should have unique or interesting elements in terms of design, materials, construction techniques, location and/or the people involved.

Grand Designs: Kevin McCloud shown thermal experiment

Grand Designs kicked off its 21^st series at the beginning of 2021 with even more people stretching their imaginations far and wide to build their dream homes. Presenter Kevin McCloud has been witness to thousands of projects over the years and despite the ongoing coronavirus pandemic, the latest season will be no different. The Channel 4 show continues to air every Wednesday night at 9pm.

Do you get paid to be on Grand Designs?

Those who appear on Grand Designs are building some of the most unique and challenging houses possible.

They usually end up spending hundreds of thousands of pounds, sometimes more and often go way over their planned budget.

Of course, they mostly end up with beautifully designed homes but at a pricey cost.

So it isn’t out of the question to think those who appear on the series would get paid for their projects being filmed.

Nevertheless, those who do star on Grand Designs are not reportedly paid.

There has not been much talk in terms of what arrangements are made prior to filming starting up.

However, it is believed participants are not given any sort of payment for taking part in the show.

Although, there is some compensation rewarded to the ambitious homeowners.

Nothing remarkable is expected at the Sochi Cultural Olympics, although there were grandiose plans

News

11.02. and cultural. According to the organizers, “the interesting and rich cultural program of the Games reflects the cultural richness of Russia.” It is really intense: the winter international arts festival, which includes classical music concerts, performances, ballet performances, film retrospectives, as well as an equally rich exhibition part.

The most striking cultural event will be the personal exhibition of the People’s Artist of Russia Sergei Andriyaka at the N. Ostrovsky Literary and Memorial Museum. The curator of the exhibition is the master himself. And further down the list. Photo exhibition Images of Russia created by St. Petersburg photographer Mikhail Nikitin . It includes images of architectural monuments of St. Petersburg and panoramic views of other Russian cities. All-Russian exhibition opened at the Art Museum Sports – art – Sochi ; visitors are presented with 200 works dedicated, of course, to the theme of sports. According to the organizers, the authors of the exposition are the best artists of the country. In the Museum of the History of Sochi – Ancient gold of the Kuban and the Black Sea . Exhibition from the collection of Peterhof Education of bodily strength about sports equipment of the imperial residence of the XVIII – early XX centuries – in the Art Museum. In the midst of the Games, an exhibition of graphics and paintings by Vyacheslav Butusov opens at the city’s railway station.

Answering the question why modern Russian and Western artists do not take part in the cultural program of the most expensive Olympics in the world, Maria Voevodina , representative of the Sochi 2014 Organizing Committee , assured that “modern Russian art is represented at the exhibitions. In particular, this is Sergey Andriyaka, as well as an exhibition of the Union of Artists of Russia, which presents paintings by both eminent and young and talented artists.”

We wrote about an initiative to decorate the 200-hectare Olympic Park in the Imeretinskaya Lowland with works of land art (TANR, No. 01, April-May 2012). The scale of the sculptures of the art project promised to be grandiose: from of the Universal Mind of Nikolai Polissky to the 80-meter sculpture of a man with a torch by Zurab Tsereteli . As the sculptor Georgiy Frangulyan , who was a member of the expert council of the project, told us, there will be no park due to lack of budget. “We made a wonderful competition, a wonderful project that would be an ornament to the Olympics. When the whole project was ready, no money was given. Banal, banal.” Answering the question whether the project will be implemented in the future, Frangulyan said: “God forbid that what has been built be preserved in the future. There will be nothing to do with the sculpture park. Some other project may be. Grass will grow, for example. Frangulyan refused to name the approximate cost of the park, but noted that this is not even a drop in the overall budget. “Just nothing compared to the planned number of objects of such significance and size – and these are 65 most powerful objects. And, which is typical, almost all artists have practically reduced their fees to a minimum, because we could not reduce the production part, and due to fees we reduced the cost. Well, it still didn’t help,” he said. – Maria Kramar

Before the start of the meeting, the Primate of the Russian Orthodox Church and the head of the defense ministry toured an exhibition consisting of eight expositions, which show in detail the external and internal decoration of the temple, the arrangement of the temple territory, as well as photo sketches of the multimedia museum complex “Memory Road, 1418 Steps”.

Following the inspection, His Holiness Patriarch Kirill made a number of suggestions and recommendations regarding the construction and decoration of the church.

“I would like to sincerely thank you and all your colleagues who are taking part in this work,” said the Primate of the Russian Church, addressing the Minister of Defense. “To describe what is now presented in just a few words, this is a grandiose idea that has begun to materialize.”

According to His Holiness, already today “these are not just ideas, not just thoughts, not just projects; this is already what you can see, what you can feel when you come into contact with wonderful examples of fine art – painting, mosaics, sculpture.

“We listened attentively to Your Holiness’s recommendations and advice. Thank you for your advice,” said S.K. Shoigu, addressing His Holiness the Patriarch. The Minister of Defense noted that all advice would be taken into account and a version of the construction project would be prepared as soon as possible, taking into account the proposals made during the meeting.

The Minister also said that there is very little time, so you will have to work very actively. “We hope, as before, for your blessing, so that everything will turn out as we planned. Thank you,” added S.K. Shoigu.

The head of the ministry ordered to prepare a list of instructions regarding the implementation of the recommendations made at the meeting.

The meeting was attended by Deputy Minister of Defense of the Russian Federation – Head of the Main Military-Political Directorate of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation, Colonel General A.V. Kartapolov, Archpriest Sergiy Privalov, Chairman of the Synodal Department for Cooperation with the Armed Forces and Law Enforcement Agencies, Archpriest Leonid Kalinin, Chairman of the Expert Council on Church Art, Architecture and Restoration, representatives of the RF Ministry of Defense.
