Grants and funding
Screen Tasmania's financial support is provided through programs approved under the Cultural and Creative Industries Act 2017.
We provide:
- equity investments and recoupable and non-recoupable grants for development and production of Tasmanian screen projects including drama, documentaries and animation; features, long-form and short form series; and, video games, and
- non-recoupable grants to support individual and industry development for Tasmanian practitioners and businesses.
Most programs are only open to emerging and experienced practitioners who have at least one recognised screen credit.
Details of opening dates and deadlines for programs are available on the Deadlines page.
