• Have a slate of market-ready projects to pitch 
• Be able to attend the entire conference from 19-21 March, 2024

• First Nations people  
• People from culturally and linguistically diverse backgrounds  
• People living with disability

There will be up to three places reserved for Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander applicants. 

Up to eight places will be offered in total. 

Funding is limited for this program to $1750 excluding GST per person, from any given project. 

Successful applicants will need to purchase their own pass for the conference. 

Screen NSW can facilitate a reduced rate of $1060 including GST, which is the SPA member price, if you are awarded travel support and don’t yet have your pass. Neither Screen NSW nor Screen Forever will retrospectively facilitate partial refunds if you have already purchased a full-price pass. 

Your application will be competitively assessed against the following criteria: 

• The strength of your application 
• Whether you meet any of Screen NSW priority areas 
• Your potential to grow and develop as a screen practitioner. 
  
  

You must submit all core materials listed on the application form. 

The submission must include a 2-3 page summary of projects, including synopsis, stage of production, top-line budget, key creatives/production company, and any confirmed financial partners.  Screen NSW is not requesting full treatments or scripts. 

Please also upload a recent CV / resume. 

Screen NSW uses the SmartyGrants platform for submission of all applications. Applications made using any other format, will not be accepted. Please note you will receive a SmartyGrants acknowledgement of submission. 

Applications are assessed on the eligibility and selection criteria. Screen NSW staff or external assessors will assess each application. Recommendations will be considered by the Head of Screen NSW. 

If successful, the applicant must enter into and abide by the terms of an agreement with us, which will include deliverables and acquittal requirements.
