community it values by allocating all apparel revenue to the grants pool.

Selection Criteria
What is the Creative Committee looking for?
Applications will be assessed against 5 main criteria each with their own weighting;
1) Commitment to Craft / Quality (Weight 25%)
2) Impact (Weight 25%)
3) Strategic Reach (Weight 20%)
4) Effective Planning (Weight 15%)
5) Financial Responsibility (Weight 15%)
Commitment to Craft / Quality:
This pertains to the artistic and cultural significance of the project. Examples of past work, support from the sector and your history in the field contribute to demonstrating quality. The skills and experience of those involved, and their alignment with the project, also add to the assessment.
Impact:
Impact encompasses both personal and community effects. Showcase how the grant influences your growth or transformation, and illustrate how the project positively affects the community. Whether on an individual level or in the broader context, impact is a key consideration.
Strategic Reach:
Demonstrate the reach and engagement potential of your project by providing information such as networking avenues, pertinent marketing strategies, participant numbers, and potential audience/market expansion.
Effective Planning:
This evaluates the practical considerations behind the project. Thoughtful planning is evident in meticulous preparations, realistic timelines, attainable goals, documented research or consultation, and a method of evaluation.
Financial Responsibility:
Financial responsibility evaluates budget management. Demonstrating efficient resource use, reasonable expenses, an accurate budget, and consideration of additional income sources showcases financial acumen. The project's self-sustaining aspect is also taken into account.
