MUSIC INDUSTRY KICKSTARTER GRANT PROGRAM

Round One Applications open 1st December 2024 until 1st March 2025

Queenscliff Music Festival Inc is a creative and socially responsible organisation which engages and fosters the community and the arts. In line with this vision, the music Industry Kickstarter Grant aims to provide professional and creative development opportunities for people in the early stages of their music industry career.

Applications from across the music industry are encouraged to test, develop and realise ideas which: 

• are bold and ambitious
• use skills and the imagination to produce new and unique works
• increase exposure to further professional or creative development
• build the capacity of people working in the music industry
• benefit the local community

There will be two rounds of funding in 2025 with a total grant pool of $10,000.
