About Screen Forever 2023 travel funding

Screenwest will cover the cost of successful applicant passes directly with Screen Producers Australia. If you have already purchased a pass, and are successful in receiving support via Screenwest, you will be reimbursed by Screen Producers Australia.

Successful applicants will receive a set amount of $1,000 to assist with flights and accommodation. As this is a set funding amount, a budget will not be required as part of the application process.

How to apply

Eligibility  

• Must be a Western Australian screen practitioner.
• Must meet the general eligibility requirements set out in the Screenwest Terms of Trade.
• Applicants must hold the underlying rights to at least two to three projects in development with market potential OR genuine market interest in at least one project.
• Applicants will need to provide a summary of projects being taken to market (including proof of market interest) and a rationale for attending the market and a list of proposed meetings.
