Strategic Opportunities Program

The Strategic Opportunities Program supports individual initiatives and events that demonstrate long-term benefits to the NSW screen industry.

The objectives of the Program are:

• to build capacity within the industry and organisations and businesses within the sector;
• to support new and sustainable partnerships in particular between organisations of State significance and practitioners;
• to support audience access strategies for projects and practitioners.

 Applications will be assessed against the following criteria:

• the project/event is well planned and of high artistic quality and it has capacity to contribute to the overall stability and strength of the NSW screen industry;
  • the plans for the use of the funding and the amount of other funding;
  • track record of the applicant and partners;
  • the availability of funds.

Events and programs that support high-quality activity, engagement and participation with these Priority Areas are of particular importance:

• people living and/or working in regional NSW
• people living and/or working in Western Sydney
• Aboriginal people
• people from culturally and linguistically diverse (CaLD) backgrounds
• people with disability
