Welcome to the first ever arts grant application for Hyperborea! We're super excited to be sharing this vision of connection and community and creation with you. We are a brand new event, with big dreams, and fresh faces, and we're stoked that you're thinking of joining us.

We want to give every one the chance to pARTicipate regardless of how big or small your dream: don't be afraid to break ground.

TIMELINE
APPLICATION DUE DATE: March 24th
Grant Award: April 3rd
Build Plan Due Date: May 8th

Please note that the intention of these deadlines is to give us enough time to make this event happen. If you miss the deadline, please feel free to still submit an application however we do not guarantee it will be reviewed.

ASSESSMENT CRITERIA
Your application will be anonymously reviewed based on the following criteria:
1. Creativity - how original, interesting, relevant, daring, magical, thought provoking is your idea?
2. Constructability - what is the feasibility of your project? will you be able to build it within the timeline and budget?
3. Completeness - how well thought out is your project? how complete is your materials list, safety plan, moop plan?
4. Opportunity for Growth - given that this is our first year, we are prioritizing projects that have the ability to grow from year to year. If your project is too big for this timeline, we're happy to fund a portion of its construction.

Please note that applications for the Effigy grant are expected to fit within our theme: BREAKING GROUND. While we would be thrilled if your project were to fit within our theme, it is not a requirement for Large and Small project grants.

DISBURSEMENT
Should you be selected, you will receive 75% of your grant upon award, and the other 25% upon completion of the project.
