| Espy Foundation | Updated October 22nd, 2008 |
|
The residency program is the very heart of the Espy Foundation's mission. The Foundation's goal is to provide writers and artists of all genres from all over the world with an environment in which they can pursue their work without interruption. Residents share accommodations in bay view cottages in the serenely beautiful village of Oysterville, a National Historic District, located near the northern tip of the Long Beach Peninsula on the southwest coast of Washington State. Residents also receive a stipend for food. Oysterville has proven to be an ideal environment for writers and artists, including Gregory Grenon (March, 2006) and Peter Donahue (June, 2006). Its tranquility, solitude, and natural beauty never fail to inspire creativity as well as a high level of productivity. An Espy Foundation residency allows for concentrated periods of production and also provides enough time and space that writers and artists find themselves free to step back from their work, re-evaluate and re-structure projects, experiment, take risks, and develop new ideas. The month-long residencies are offered in March, June and October. Both emerging and established fiction writers, creative non-fiction writers, poets, playwrights, screenwriters, painters, sculptors, photographers, musicians, and composers are eligible for the residencies. Send the completed application form, project description, work samples (writers), images (artists), and application fee to The Espy Foundation. The two sponsors’ letters should be sent directly to the Foundation by the sponsor writing the letter. Deadline for Application: November 1 for the Spring Residency (March) February 1 for the Summer Residency (June) June 1 for the Fall Residency (October) You will be notified by mail of the panel’s decision approximately six weeks after the deadline. Send 3 COPIES of 10 pages of an article, essay, memoir, book excerpts or other non-fiction as work samples. send: Query and Partial MS looking for: Article |

| Maine Arts Commission Good Idea Grant | Updated October 17th, 2008 |
 The Good Idea Grant program is designed to foster the growth of Maine’s artists by supporting the creation of new work or professional development. Any "good idea" that furthers an individual artist's creative growth is eligible for the grant. The maximum award is $1,500. Projects are often funded partially. The artist must speak with Donna McNeil, director, about the project before submitting an application. Failure to do so will disqualify the application. See website for specifics. The types of projects that might be funded under a Good Idea Grant include but are not limited to: - Support for the creation of new work. - Support to take instruction to deepen artistic skills. - Support to broaden aesthetic investigation into another medium. Eligibility lies with artists who: - has a valid Maine address as a full or part-time resident of the state - is 18 years of age or older at the time of application - is not enrolled as a full-time student in a field related to the application - has resided in Maine for a minimum of one year at the time of the application - has completed and filed all final reports required for previous Maine Arts Commission grants Applicants who have been encouraged to proceed must submit: - One Maine Arts Commission Application Form for Artists. - Resume(s) for the applicant and any other artists to be employed by the project. - Clear, specific answers to each of the following project description questions, addressed sequentially and numbered. Answers should not exceed two pages. - Describe your good idea. - Show evidence that the receipt of funds from the Good Idea Grant will advance your aesthetic growth through professional development or the creation of new work. Note: The project description is the central element of the grant request. The more information the reviewers have about the project and its relation to the artist's growth, the better they can judge its merits. The Good Idea Grant does not fund requests for website design or the purchase of equipment unless the applicant can demonstrate that those tools are integral to the creation of work. One complete set of properly labeled Artistic Materials. A list describing these samples, including titles, dimensions, length of performance, title of poems, etc., must accompany the application. (Applicants in literature must send four complete copies of the manuscript. If a synopsis is included please also include four copies as well.) The application package must include four manuscript copies with up to five poems (not to exceed 20 pages total), or works of prose (15-20 pages). Script and Playwriting applicants should include one act or scene only up to 20 pages. Selections from a longer script or work of prose must be accompanied by a synopsis of the complete work. Four copies of the synopsis are required as well. The manuscript must not include evidence of publication. Copied, published material that is not in original manuscript format will not be accepted. Authors who illustrate their own work may send in unpublished renderings. Represented work must be current; which means preferably within the past three years. send: Complete MS looking for: Non-Fiction Book specifically: Literary |

| Ohio Arts Council Individual Excellence Awards | Updated September 20th, 2008 |
|
Individual Excellence Awards are peer recognition of creative artists for the exceptional merit of a body of work that advances or exemplifies the discipline and the larger artistic community. These awards of excellence recognize their work in Ohio and beyond and encourage artists' growth and development. Awards are offered in the following areas: choreography, crafts, fiction/nonfiction, poetry, playwriting/screenplays, criticism, design arts/illustration, interdisciplinary/performance art, media arts, music composition, photography and visual arts. To be eligible to apply for an Individual Excellence Award, an artist must be a resident of Ohio, have lived in the state continuously for one year before the September 1 deadline and remain an Ohio resident during the term of the award. The Ohio Arts Council defines an Ohio resident as someone who spends at least eight months of the year living and working in Ohio. The Board retains the right to determine if Ohio is an applicant’s primary state of residence. An applicant may not be a student enrolled in any degree-or certificate-granting program. An applicant must be a creative artist; performing artists are ineligible to apply. Individual Excellence Awards are either $5,000 or $10,000. Grant amounts are determined by the review panel. All recommendations are reviewed and approved by the Ohio Arts Council’s board. Artists may submit only one application per fiscal year except in the area of criticism. Artists may apply to the criticism discipline and to a second discipline as long as the applications are based on two separate bodies of work. Collaborative applications are accepted from artists who have a history of working together to produce the body of work submitted and plan to continue working together. No more than two artists may apply collaboratively. If they receive an award, each artist will enter into an agreement with the Ohio Arts Council and will receive an equal share of the total Individual Excellence Award. Collaborative artists each need to make an application, but only one set of support materials and one narrative is required. A completed Individual Creativity Excellence Awards application must be submitted online by 5 p.m. on the September 1 deadline. At that time, the system locks and no further changes can be made to the application. Include with your support materials a signed copy of the completed application. Retain a copy for your records. For those applicants who have uploaded images, only a signed application is required. For artists applying in the areas of visual arts, crafts, photography, design, interdisciplinary and media installations in the category of media arts, digital images must be uploaded to OLGA within seven calendar days after the deadline date (by 5 p.m.). Non-Fiction Writers: Submit four copies of one recent work or a series of smaller works. The work must be a minimum of 20 and a maximum of 30 pages on single-sided 8½" x 11" sheets, double spaced. Work must have been completed within the past three years. send: Complete MS looking for: Non-Fiction Book specifically: Literary |

| Annual Dream Grant | Updated July 10th, 2008 |
|
Do you have a dream that involves writing? Something you really want to write about, a place you really want to go to research an article, or perhaps you just wish you had a little bit more time off of work so you could write that best selling novel that will change the world? If you have a dream…we have your grant! Announcing The Hobson Foundation's Annual Dream Grant! Our Dream Grant, inspired by the MacArthur Fellows Program, is not a reward for past accomplishment, but rather an investment in potential; it is a “no strings attached" award in support of writers’ dreams. We want to know your dreams and how making them come true can help our world. Each Dream Grant comes with a stipend of up to $1,000.00 paid directly to the recipient. (Note that as our Foundation grows and we have more money in our capital, we intend to steadily increase the amount of our grant awards.) A cover letter is required (no more than 3 pages) which includes the project title, summary, detailed description, applicable dates, and what you have done towards your dream thus far as well as how your writing project can help others/the world. Please also include how the grant can help you towards accomplishing your writing dream. If you have writing accomplishments, do tell us about them, but please note that, for the most part, this grant is not dependant on previous works. All grant entrants must be 18 years of age or older. As we are not under non-profit status yet, the dream grant is open to world-wide writers. By applying for this grant, you give the Hobson Foundation full right to list your name, email address, and portions of your application letter on our website for future applicants to read. (We will remove all other contact information as a courtesy). Grants will be announced on our website and monies will be sent out by December 31, 2007. send: Book Proposal looking for: Any |
