Stream D - Professional Events

Funding is available to eligible applicants for either:

  • hosting a professional event
  • attending a professional event workshop.

In accordance with the Industry Development Guidelines.

Professional events are defined as screen and gaming seminars, workshops, labs, incubators, masterclasses, mentorships, or conferences that align with the internal strategy and priorities of Screen Tasmania’s Industry Development program.

If hosting an event, funding will be prioritised according to the training component, followed by speaker’s fees, travel and venue hire. It will not extend to company operational expenditure. For smaller companies and incorporated associations funding is capped at $2,500 per event or $5,000 per organisation for a series of events per financial year.

For larger organisations with a demonstrated history of success, there is no yearly cap. The amount of funding available for proposals is
limited by program funds.
