An Equity and Inclusion Fund has been established to ensure that cost is not a barrier for any under-represented industry professional to fully participate in the Canadian Screen Awards. This fund will provide needs-based assistance for submission fees to anyone who may require it; however, 80% of the funds are set aside specifically for applicants who identify as Black, Indigenous, persons of colour, persons with a disability, or those who are members of the LGBTQ+ community.
Application deadline is October 23, 2020. Successful applicants will be notified on November 2.
Un Fonds sur l’équité et l’inclusion a été établi pour veiller à ce que les coûts ne soient pas un obstacle qui empêche tout professionnel sous-représenté de l’industrie de participer aux prix Écrans canadiens. Au besoin, ce fonds assurera une assistance financière à quiconque pour défrayer les frais de soumission, cependant, 80 % du fonds est réservé spécifiquement aux candidats qui s’identifient comme une personne noire, autochtone ou de couleur, une personne handicapée ou un membre de la communauté LGBTQ+
La date limite pour soumettre votre demande est le 23 octobre 2020. Si votre demande est retenue, vous serez avisé le 2 novembre.
