## scheme | how to apply 2003

Please read the Guidelines carefully before planning your proposal. Your immediate challenge is to articulate and present your idea clearly to the selection panel. You need to identify its originality and convey the intended form of your finished work.

Send us two sets of the following **all on A4 paper**:

- your completed and signed Application Form

- treatment – not more than one side of A4

- production schedule

- production budget – not more than two sides of A4

- full or sample storyboard if appropriate – 6 or 8 frames (16:9 ratio) per A4 page

- script and additional artwork (16:9 ratio) if appropriate – A4 paper, not mounted

We also require examples of your previous work that best support the application, cued ready for viewing by the selection panel. These can be on one VHS tape, CD-ROM in Quicktime format (without proprietary codecs) or DVD. Please enclose a large stamped addressed envelope if you want your media returned.
