Opportunities: Our Pick of the Week – Kevin Spacey Foundation £10,000 Grants for Artists of Choice

Each week we look through our pile of writing opportunities to pick out one we think is particularly worth your time. It could be an innovative brief, great prize money, a high-profile company, or just plain fun.

This week’s pick: Kevin Spacey Foundation £10,000 Grants for Artists of Choice

Description: The Kevin Spacey Foundation is offering grants to one exciting project in each of the five categories: a play, a musical, a dance piece, a choir, a band or a short film.  (The foundation will also award $10,000 USD to five projects in the states.)

So, what’s so great about it? Funding is always an obstacle for emerging writers, and this is a great chance to get some serious funds to put into developing your play.  The Kevin Spacey Foundation will award up to £10,000 to the projects they select, and provide professional mentoring for grant recipients.  You’ll have to move quick to get your application submitted in time for the 29 May deadline – and be forewarned that the application requires that you address the practicalities (including putting together a timeline and budget) as well as the artistic components of your project –  but if you can tap into that entrepreneurial spirit, it’s an opportunity not to pass up.

Check out the full details here.
