If you're working on a project that aims to make a positive impact on New Zealand writing and publishing, you should consider applying for a CLNZ Contestable Fund Grant - there is $75,000 ready and waiting.
This year, $75,000 is available to support strategic projects that demonstrate New Zealand publishing sector growth.
Each year, a portion of the revenue collected by Copyright Licensing New Zealand (CLNZ) is allocated to the Cultural Fund, and is made available for applicants to apply for. Successful recipients for a CLNZ Contestable Fund Grant will receive funding to support their writing projects that have clearly defined and measureable outcomes that align with the Cultural Fund objectives.
The amount you apply for is up to you, with the number of successful recipients varying each year depending on the individual merits of the applications received.
Applications must be received before 4pm Monday 20 August 2018.
Successful recipients will be announced in September.
