For the bursaries this year, we encourage both individuals and groups to apply. If applying as a group, the lead applicant needs to be a member of the IW Creative Network. If other group members would like to join, they can simply join here at any time. Please note, group members cannot be a part of more than one group applying for a bursary.

The bursary can be used to pay for equipment, someone's time, for your time, R&D, travel - but you must be able to demonstrate how it will develop your creative practice either individually or as a group.
The Advisory Panel will determine the award of the two bursaries based on applications that will most develop their creative practice and are:
- innovative
- well developed
- realistic and deliverable.
All bursary recipients will need to present to the wider public how they have utilised the bursary to develop their creative practice, via Zoom or live session later this year.
Applications for the bursary grants are open until Monday 15th May 2023, 12 noon to all members of the IW Creative Network. Recipients will be selected by the IW Creative Network Advisory Panel and announced by Monday 22nd May 2023.
The Advisory Panel's decision is final. Please note the bursary cannot be used to match fund an Arts Council England funding application.
There is an alternative bursary available exclusively for members of Brave Island to develop a piece of work at this years Ventnor Fringe Festival. If you are aged between 18-25 and want to apply for the Brave Island bursary instead, please visit the Brave Island website for more details and how to apply.
