Film Otago Southland is offering two regional scholarships this year to enable regional industry practitioners to attend the event.
Each scholarship will include:
- 1 x ticket to the two-day conference in Auckland (thanks to Big Screen Symposium for offering a discounted rate on the ticket)
- A $300 travel bursary to contribute toward travel and accommodation costs
Eligibility criteria:
- Applicants must be based in Otago and Southland
- Applicants must primarily work in the screen industry, or be actively working towards a career in the screen industry
- Applicants must be available and able to commit to attend the conference on the 8 – 9 April.
The application process:
In order to apply, please send the following through to info@filmotagosouthland.com by Sunday 6 February 2022.
- An up-to-date resume
- A personal statement (approx. 200 – 500 words) explaining why you want to attend the event and how it might contribute to your career development
- Confirmation that you can travel during the event date
The selection process:
- All applicants that are deemed to be eligible and have sufficiently supplied the application details will be put into a lottery
- The selected participant will be drawn from the lottery at random
- The selected participant will be required to sign an agreement committing to attend the conference and to use the travel bursary towards conference travel and accommodation costs
- Film Otago Southland will purchase the event ticket on behalf of the application, but travel and accommodation arrangements will be up to applicant to organise – flexible arrangements are necessary due to a risk of the event being re-scheduled. Film Otago Southland will reimburse $300 of the costs upon production of receipts.
