The good folk at NZ On Air have put together this pānui for all Scripted, Factual, and Industry Development funding. It's focused on production applications intended to reflect and/or appeal to targeted audiences which includes funding for Children’s content. Information for producers intending to make a Children’s content funding application can be read in this separate document.
Production applications (excluding Children’s content) will be considered as follows:
Factual – the focus for this round is for applications for targeted audiences that will deliver to all genres of Factual content.
- These applications are most likely to deliver to the Many Perspectives and Fresh Opportunities streams of the Factual Roadmap.
- Approximately $8m has been allocated for Factual content in this round.
Scripted – the focus for this round is for applications for the Sustainable and Newer Storytellers streams of our Scripted Roadmap.
- Approximately $5m has been allocated for Scripted content in this round.
Development – both Content (including Diverse Development) and Industry Development applications will be considered. However, funding for both streams is limited and applications will have to reach a high bar to be successful. Please see the Development Roadmap.
- Factual development applications will only be accepted for projects that require significant research and have co-funding from the supporting platform.
Further information and minor updates to our Content and Industry Development Funding policies can be seen in paragraph F of the round information document.
