Grants are awarded based on merit and organizational priorities. Jurors are made up of a committee of industry professionals, whom we allow to remain anonymous. The jury process allows committee members to recuse themselves from evaluating particular applicants, when necessary; and to indicate a level of confidence in each review they provide.
Jurors will review all applications and select finalists. At the end of the grant cycle, all finalists will be reviewed once again and one or more winners will be selected. If a high number of grant applications are received, we reserve the right to award more money. Due to both time and financial constraints, jurors are not asked to provide feedback to applicants regarding submissions.
All applicants will be notified of the winners via email. Information will also be posted at the top of this web page, on Facebook and on Twitter.
