Guidelines for completing a successful application

How many applications can I make?

You can submit ONE application for a GRANT and ONE application for an AWARD

For example:

  • A student may apply for the Student Award and a Student Residency and Training Grant
  • A practitioner may apply for the Emerging Maker Award and for the Practitioner Studio Assistance grant

You CANNOT apply for a mixture of student and practitioner grants and awards you must be either a student or practitioner and apply under the relevant heading.

The same application form can be used to make a grant and an award application.

Making your application

  • Complete every section of the form
  • Make sure you are supplying all of the information requested
  • Ask a friend or colleague to read through your application to ensure you are communicating all the relevant information effectively
  • Give yourself the best chance possible – Make sure you supply good quality images of your work
  • Please ensure all supporting documentation requested accompanies your application
  • Please ensure that everything you submit is clearly labelled
  • Only images in digital format will be accepted (Images should be in jpeg format and of size 300KB + but not exceeding 1MB)

Budget information requested for grants, please note the following

  • Expenditure includes cost of purchase of materials or equipment, travel, seminar, residency or course fees
  • Income can include a contribution towards costs from another grant source, your own personal funds or ‘in-kind’ services provided by a supplier – e.g. the cost of designing or printing invitations for exhibition given in kind by a graphic designer/printer
