Entries for the Miramar Creative Centre’s Grant for emerging interactive kiwi projects are now open. The deadline for applications for the current cycle is the 3rd of April 2022.
Thanks to the kind sponsorship of the Wellington ICT Graduate School, the Miramar Creative Centre Grant has been able to offer $2,200 micro-funds aimed at supporting entry-level & emerging interactive projects across New Zealand.
Games, Apps, AR, VR, Film, Comics and Interactive screen-based projects are all eligible to apply.
Applicants must apply through the Artizen.fund website, and are encouraged to prepare pitch material including
- a project description
- a brief plan or timeline
- concept imagery to represent the submission.
Students, graduates, and industry newcomers are encouraged to apply, and unsuccessful applicants will be able to receive feedback on their submissions and re-apply for future cycles of this micro-grant.
In addition to the cash prize, winning projects will also receive mentorship and the opportunity to give a talk to grant supporters, discussing their work and the manner in which the micro-grant assisted with project development.
The Miramar Creative Centre Grant aims to serve as a valuable learning experience for emerging creatives who are unfamiliar with the process of securing funding, pitching projects, and completing deliverables.
A winning entry is chosen at the end of each grant cycle.
