Eligibility

To be eligible to apply for funding under the Project development program, the project must be intended for production in Tasmania, or provide demonstrable benefits to the Tasmanian screen production industry.

You must meet the general eligibility requirements detailed in the General Guidelines and Terms of Trades and must:

• be, or have attached to the project, a Tasmanian key creative such as a writer, producer or director (expatriate and non-Tasmanians should refer to the General Guidelines for eligibility details)
• be, or have attached to the project in a key creative role, an experienced practitioner as defined in the General Guidelines (short-form series must at minimum have an emerging practitioner)
• have control of copyright of the project as defined in the General Guidelines
• For Market-attached stage and Slate Development, documented evidence of marketplace attachment, including the level of financial support, must be provided.

With the exception of slate development, all projects must demonstrate that the project has been developed to a reasonable level (beyond early-stage development) before applying.

Projects that have previously been unsuccessful in securing Screen Tasmania funding will only be eligible to reapply if the project has changed significantly, or if Screen Tasmania specifically invites such an application. If resubmitting you must clearly demonstrate how the project has changed.

Projects that have unsuccessfully submitted twice cannot be resubmitted.

Projects that have received development funding from another Screen Tasmania program (such as a special initiative) may still apply to this program.
