WHAT MAKES A GOOD PROPOSAL?
We are looking for submissions which engage with our three core values: (Connect, Participate, and Surprise) and are of particular relevance to our core target audience of 15-25 year olds. Good submissions will:
- Demonstrate a meaningful connection to the theme, bringing a thought-provoking or unexpected perspective to it. Avoid shoehorning an unrelated work.
- Invite audience participation and engagement
- Involve collaborations across different disciplines - we think collaborations are great!
- Bring together art and science in a creative way. We generally avoid illustrations of science, or science that is evaluating art.
- Be based on strong original ideas in any media
- Be properly budgeted (see below)
