Screenwest Seeks Industry Feedback on Funding Programs

Screenwest is conducting a facilitated review of many of its program guidelines and associated Terms of Trade and is seeking feedback from industry practitioners and interested stakeholders.

Please submit all feedback through the Screenwest Guidelines Review Survey by Sunday, 22 September 2019.

About the Review

The aim of the review is to:

• aid in the transition of these programs to the SmartyGrants platform
• confirm the agency’s compliance with its updated charitable status, and
• ensure best delivery of Screenwest’s strategy, balancing and responding to varying industry needs.

This review may or may not result in changes to existing guidelines and policies.
