Project Awards, Thursday, 15 April 2021

The Arts Council's Project awards support specific project activities under each of the above artform/arts practice areas. The award guidelines for each award can be downloaded from the available funding section of the Arts Council's website in early March.

Who can apply:

The award is open to individuals and organisations.

Who cannot apply:

Organisations currently in receipt of funding under the following Arts Council programmes: Strategic Funding, Arts Centre Funding, Partnership Funding – though the support of such partners is welcome.
Organisations and/or individuals in receipt of 2021 Arts Grant Funding.
Individuals or organisations who do not have a demonstrable track record as professional artists or organisations.
Individuals currently in undergraduate or postgraduate education or who will be during the period for which this award is offered.
Note: you cannot apply for the award both as an individual and as part of an organisation – e.g. you cannot apply as artistic director of a company and also apply separately under your own name. Applications that do will not be prioritised and may be made ineligible from reapplication.

Applications will only be accepted through the Arts Council's online services website and all supporting material must be submitted online. Applicants who have not previously used the online services site must register in advance of making an application. It may take up to five working days for your registrations to be confirmed so it is very important that you register as early as possible.

We now provide updates and assistance on the use of online services through our Facebook page. Feel free to post or send us a message via the page if you need online services support when making a Project Award application: http://www.facebook.com/artscouncilireland
