The Hanlon Larsen Screen Fellowship

• Any South Australian artist is welcome to apply. There are no prerequisites in regard to University alumni or other educational status. The Fellowship is intended to foster non-traditional and innovative screen art of any kind.
• Open to any South Australian resident with an existing body of work that speaks to the Fellowship aims.
• The principle creative must be based in South Australia. Contributing work or other production support can be sourced interstate, but this must be identified in the submission.
  
• Emerging and mid-career screen and arts practitioners from South Australia. 

• Group projects are eligible.
• Pre-existing works are not eligible. The Fellowship is intended for original works, not extensions of near completion of existing works.
  
• Bold and distinctive works in any screen-based medium including (VR, AR, interactive game or screen-based work).
• There is no duration limitation however the applicant will need to demonstrate that the work is able to be achieved within budget limitations.
• There is no requirement for an end-user in the form of a broadcaster or streaming platform, publisher etc, as this initiative is designed to break free of commercially driven parameters.
• Projects that are experimental in nature and don’t necessarily comply with narrative, genre, format, ratings classifications or conventions are encouraged. The final format, however, must be a self-contained screen experience and not rely on installations, live performance or other components to be exhibited. 

The application will be assessed on:

• The distinctiveness and imagination of the proposed work
• The creative and cultural impact of the proposed work
• The likelihood that the work will find an audience
• The perceived viability of the work in relation to the budget
• The ability of the work to be completed in 12 months from receipt of funds
• The career benefits for the applicant and for the broader SA screen industry
• The ability of the applicant to undertake the work, based on or building upon prior experience

Note that works that are discriminatory will not be eligible.
