Our top tips for ourppl looking to apply to any funding or training opportunities:
💐 Make sure you’ve understood the time commitment that is required for you to take part.
💐 Applying as business/social enterprise? How does this opportunity align with your future - make that known.
💐 What is your ‘WHY’ - understanding this will help your artistic voice and unique identity shine through and separate you from other applicants.
💐 Be clear on what you hope to gain or develop - make them believe in you as much as you believe in yourself.
💐 Get a friend or second set of eyes to proof read your answers alongside the application questions/brief. Sometimes someone else will point out a mistake you accidentally overlooked.
💐 If something is not clear - ASK! Contact the organization/group via their respective channels so that you have all the clarity you need before hitting ‘submit’.
