BANFF WIDC FELLOWSHIP

As WIDC Alumnae continue to be recognized for their fine work, Creative Women Workshops Association has partnered with the Banff World Television Festival to create an opportunity to enable WIDC Alumnae and other women directors to attend BANFF should they be nominated for a Banff Rockie Award, selected for a public pitch session or should they have a project to pitch and a financial need.

Simply send an email outlining the project(s) you plan to pitch at the festival, and how the fellowship would assist you. You will be contacted if more information is required.

Annual application deadline: May 1
