The peers gave the following feedback to help current and future applicants:

• Discuss your application - even if you have previously applied for funding - with a member of Arts Tasmania’s Grants Team. Guidelines can change from round to round and it is important to make sure your information is up to date.
• Write in plain English and avoid unnecessary artform specific language or jargon.
• Proof read all parts of the application before submitting.
• Consider artist wages and fees as part of your budget.
• Make sure artistic support material is recent and relevant to your application.
• Letters of support should be targeted and specific to your application. A good letter of support should also show strong and genuine enthusiasm for your project.
