The Copyright Agency’s Create Grants offer opportunities for mid-career and established creative writers and visual artists to create and develop new work. The grants provide a living allowance to a writer or a visual artist to write or create a new work for publication or exhibition.
Create Grants do not support academics to create work aimed specifically at the scholarly or academic market.
Applications are assessed by a panel of independent peers from the writing, publishing and visual arts sectors.
