Evaluation Juries

Evaluation Process

Following an initial review for eligibility conducted by internal staff, jury members are tasked with scoring each project against a set evaluation criteria. Each program has its own evaluation grid, specific to the needs and objectives of that program, but generally they include:

• experience of the production or creative teams and their capacity to deliver;
• an assessment of the creative content and/or innovation in the space;
• narrative positioning statement;
• business materials, including viability of the project and financial stability; and
• a distribution and/or marketing strategy.

The highest scoring projects are compared against the available funding allocation for the program to determine the recipients for that round of funding.
