A Slate Funding application must contain a slate of at least 3 and a maximum of 5 projects. Each project can receive an amount of support between €10,000 and €60,000 provided the amount does not exceed 50% of the eligible costs of the project. The total amount of support that can be allocated under Slate Funding is between €70,000 and €200,000.
A Short Film (max 20 mins) providing support to emerging talent can be included in the Slate as an additional project – ie a Slate of 3-5 projects plus one short film. If a short film project is included in the Slate the maximum contribution per Slate is €210,000 or €160,000 in the case of a Creative Documentary slate.
What's new for this call?
· Costs will now become eligible from the date of the signature of the grant agreement or notification of the grant decision unless you can demonstrate the need to spend the grant prior to that date.
· Costs relating to writing and rights acquisition are no longer eligible for the 12 months prior to the submission date.
If you wish to apply for one project only, the next Single Project Development deadline is April 19th 2018. Please note that you can not apply for both Single Project Development and Slate Funding.
