British Council Unlimited Micro Award

British Council Unlimited Micro Award

Deadline for Round four applications: Tuesday 30 August 2022, midday

Projects can take place between end of September 2022 and end of January 2023.

This opportunity is brought to you by the British Council in partnership with Unlimited.

We are delighted to announce that the British Council and Unlimited are working together on these awards, which are funded by the British Council and administrated by Unlimited.

The aim of these awards is to help facilitate partnership and collaboration between artists and/or collectives in the UK and countries eligible to receive ODA (Official Development Assistance). See the Application briefs below for a list of the countries that artists can apply to collaborate with. For more details about ODA-eligible countries, see OECD’s website.

In total, micro grants will be awarded to approximately 10 pairs of disabled artists per round.

How to apply:

Please apply via our application portal, ‘Submittable’ (or see other accessible options below) by Tuesday 30 August. To make your application, you will first need to create your own account. From your account you will be able to work on a draft of your application online, save it as you go along and come back to it before submitting. It is possible, on Submittable, to upload video files as well as written answers.

Budget:

Each application can be for up to £2500. Artists and their collaborators, together, decide how the funds will be distributed, ie. what portion are artist fees and what portion is allocated to project running costs, e.g. translation, money transfer charges, equipment, administration, subscriptions, etc.

In their submission, applicants will be asked to show a budget, outlining how the funds will be distributed.

Access funding is available separately both to support access to applications and/or access to support the project. In the budget, applicants will be asked to give figures for the access costs of both the UK artist and the international collaborator.

This is to ensure that the fund can cover all costs and will not form part of the panel’s decision-making.

Funding from this award can cover 100% of the project costs, or part-fund them if other sources of funding are available.
