Time is ticking on screenwriter-only feature film script development grants

Yes folks, the deadline for applying to round 2 of the NZWG Seed grants is Friday 16 September at 12 noon. These grants allow writers to be innovative, brilliant, and to create something they own. The writer is the rights holder, and not working with a producer in early development.

The Seed Advanced pathway is aimed at reducing competition in the Seed pathway, by separating emerging writers from more experienced writers. The Seed Advanced grants also acknowledge experienced writers by offering a higher grant level and flexibility around development costs.

Grants Round 2

Seed: 6 Grants of $10,000 - includes $2,500 for script consultation

Seed Advanced: 2 Grants of $12,500 - includes $2,500 for script development

DEADLINE: 16 September 2022 – 12 noon
