Ready to be a National Artist? Take the written test

The title "National Artist" is a prestigious award bestowed by the government only to the most deserving, brilliant and talented citizens of this country. Contrary to recent criticisms and complaints by people who don't know any better, this administration doesn't go around giving the honor to just anybody. There is a very strict process involved that is beyond reproach. First, a Special Selection Committee is formed and then goes about choosing candidates. Second, the Special Selection Committee discusses the qualifications of the candidates, subjecting their artistic credentials and achievements to a rigorous scrutiny. Third, the Special Selection Committee comes up with a list of finalists recommended for the awards. Fourth, just before the President chooses from among the finalists, comes the most important part of the process: the Written Test.
