How do I apply?

We accept written, verbal and video proposals for this commission, in response to the Commission Brief. We can also accept your submission in the form of a 1-2-1 interview with a member of the ECDP Team, recorded on Zoom.

To apply, please email your proposal to jo@essexcdp.com by DEADLINE and include the following:

• How your practice and project explores or promotes diversity (no more than 200 words).
• Some info about you and your work. This could be a short biography with examples of previous work / a CV / links to your website and social media.
• A short, estimated budget outline, showing how you would utilise the £15,000 (4-6 lines)
• A short approximate timeline for the work (4-6 lines with key milestones from April – September 2024)

From the proposals received, a panel will shortlist up to six projects, and invite shortlisted creative practitioners to an interview.
