How do I apply?
Apply online by carefully filling in the Application Form.
How many times can I apply?
You can apply only once. If you do submit more than one application, only your first one will be considered.
Can I apply as a Collective?
Collaborative practitioners may apply collectively, but are eligible for one award only. The prize remains the same in terms of scope and value. Collectively, you will need to demonstrate how to make the opportunity and the award work for the group – creatively, logistically, and financially. More information is available in the Terms & Conditions.
What format should my support material be in?
Applications are submitted online at this site. Support materials can be submitted electronically as PDF or JPEG files, or via reference to web-based portfolios. Details are outlined on the Apply page.
I want to send you some of my work. Where should I send it to?
Sorry, we’re not accepting any posted items this year. You can attach work to your online Application Form in a number of flexible formats.
How long can I stay in the UK?
While we would normally expect that you return within a year of departure, there is no formal limit on the time you can spend in the UK, provided you obtain any necessary visas or work permits. The British Council cannot provide specific advice or cover any costs related to obtaining the necessary Visas or permits.
We are not able to confirm return flight bookings beyond a year from your initial departure from Australia. Therefore, you should understand that you may be liable for additional costs to make changes to your return flight booking once the initial booking has been made. See the Terms & Conditions for details.
