CREATIVE GRANT APPLICATION

Please consider the following and include the relevant answers in your grant information. Also note that applications thrown together with an unclear plan will be the first one's thrown out during the judging cycle. BE AS DETAILED AS POSSIBLE - Especially when it comes to your BUDGET.

If you think you will be making controversial statements with your piece, please include this information with your proposal. Controversy alone is not grounds to deny a grant but we do want the opportunity to consider the effects of such work as well as find the optimum location to display and share your creativity.
The event population is expected to be at least 500 women, men and children. Are you prepared to meet the masses as they venture out to see funded work? Do you have safeguards in place for user "error"? Theft? Damage? Are there any health hazards or danger to the environment?
Due to the possibility of a fire ban in Colorado, we recommend propane fire rather than open flame.

Apogaea, Inc. reserves the right to remove projects from the event site.

Grants accepted until the deadline of midnight February 21, 2010.
