To all you Western Australians thinking of quitting your day jobs, the deadline for Arts WA funding (for projects commencing after July 1) is steadily looming - February 26, 2010. Check out their website at  for some more info on the various grants that they have to offer. Their 'Young People and the Arts Fund' is especially promising, and has 'quick response' grants available as well.

If you want to apply for funding for a specific idea or project that think that would be great to bring to the NYWF, get in touch with us for a chat and we'll see if we can help/collaborate. Contact Sarah G at festivalcoordinator@youngwritersfestival.org
