Festival Project

Evaluation Criteria

Short Form Applicants: Applications are reviewed by panelists using the criteria below to determine the capacity of the organization to produce the festival. No ranking will be given. The applicants history of producing successful festivals is the primary consideration.

Long Form Applicants: Applications are evaluated and ranked by panelists using the criteria listed below.

Because your application will compete with other proposals, be sure to address as many points under each criterion as possible in your application.

The grant review panel will be assigning a ranking to each criterion category according to the degree to which the project responds to the subcriteria.

Helpful Hint: Print out this page and refer to it often as you write your application.
