Applications are open for The Creative Power Award. The Creative Power Award provides a pool of funding to kickstart projects, and a series of three mentoring sessions. It has been organised by a group of professionals who got their start as volunteers and hobbyists using culture for social change, creating publications, festivals, podcasts, zines and documentaries. They know how much of a difference it makes when you have just a little bit more funding – and when you know that somebody believes in your idea.
The Award grants up to 2000 USD.
Eligibility
