What they care about
This scheme supports and encourages local arts activities. Projects should meet one or more criteria: broad community involvement in arts activities, support for diverse arts and cultural traditions, or enabling young people (under 18) to engage with and actively participate in the arts.
Writing tips
The funder uses terms like 'broad community involvement', 'diversity', and 'cultural traditions'. Frame projects around how they create opportunities for local communities to engage with arts, promote cultural uniqueness, or involve young people.
Common mistakes to avoid
Projects already receiving Creative New Zealand funding are ineligible. Late applications will not be accepted. Projects must take place within the Opotiki District to be eligible.
What makes a strong application
Projects that demonstrate broad community involvement, support diverse local arts and cultural traditions, or actively engage young people in arts participation are most likely to be funded. Accountability through project reporting is required.
