 The Application Process and Application criteria

8    To apply for funding, You must complete and submit the Application form online at www.skyartsart50.tv

9    Applications will be considered by a panel of judges consisting of representatives from Sky, the Barbican, the Producer, either Sage Gateshead or the BALTIC Centre for Contemporary Art and two guest judges, the membership of which may vary from time to time and will be solely at the discretion of the Producer and Sky.  The judges will choose the successful applicants on the basis of their creativity, skill and best meeting the selection criteria in their absolute discretion. The judges will be judging Applications on ideas that:
•    Engage rather than lecture
•    Relate to suburbs and rural communities as well as towns and cities.
•    Allow us to hear and understand many points of view. 
•    Help us to understand how we’ve got here.
•    Taken together, represent a diversity of opinion
•    Include new voices as well as established artists
•    Make a splash, or leave a lasting legacy – or both!

10    Applicants may not make direct contact with members of the panel, other than to respond to questions initiated by panel members.
 
 11    The Producer will notify successful and non-successful applicants in a timely manner following the proper consideration of all Applications by the panel.

 The Funding

13    It is intended that the Art 50 Project will make a number of awards of funding for newly Created Works, at different levels, throughout a period of two years from the start of the Project.  In some cases the funding will be intended to cover the entire cost of the Created Work.  In other cases, the funding may be a contribution towards a Created Work, which is also funded or supported by other means. All decisions as to funding of any Created Works will be at the Producer’s and Sky’s sole discretion.   In either case, it is a condition of receiving funding for the Project that the finished Created Work should be made available for one or more exhibitions of the Created Work as part of the Art 50 project (see further details below).

 Other Rules

14    The Producer may (but does not guarantee to) invite the successful applicants to be part of a festival showcasing a selection of the commissioned works at the end of the Project (“the Festival”).  The Festival may be at a single location or multiple locations, over a single day or over a number of dates, all at Sky’s and the Producer’s sole discretion. If the Festival is held, the decisions as to which of the Created Works are to be placed in the Festival shall be at the absolute discretion of the Producer. If a work You created is in the Festival, the Producer shall inform You of the dates and locations Your Created Work will be displayed. The Producer shall only meet Your expenses to attend any part of the Festival where the Producer has specifically requested Your attendance and where the Producer has pre-agreed such expenses in writing in advance and the Producer may request supporting evidence of such expenses including receipts.
