The 2013-14 Screen Audience Development fund opens on Monday 18 March 2013, with the deadline of 5pm, Friday 3 May 2013.

Screen Audience Development funding supports public screenings, festivals or tours that provide opportunities for audiences to see and experience quality screen content and innovative practice, and one-off or annual events including those in single or multiple venues.

Preference will be given to projects:

• that meet one or more of Screen NSW policy directions (see guidelines for more details);
• that increase screen audience development, particularly in NSW regional areas and western Sydney; and
• that can demonstrate how Screen NSW funding will assist to increase the project’s sustainabilty.
