Production & R&D Awards

Alt-w

Initiated by Scottish Screen in 2000, the Alt-w Fund is 
for practitioners based in Scotland to make and develop 
new artworks, devices and creative applications that 
challenge the notions of what networked or web-based 
digital creativity can be.

The fund strongly encourages applicants to explore 
experimental and interactive practice, make use of 
technology as both platform and medium, and recognise the 
changing role that digital culture has in our society.

Since inception the fund has supported over seventy 
innovative projects, most recently including work by Alex 
Hetherington, Benjamin Dembroski, Distance Lab, Emma 
Tolmie, FOUND, Wendy McMurdo & Paul Holmes, Sarah Kettley, 
Thomson & Craighead, and ~ in the fields. For this round 
our focus is to support projects which present new ideas 
for smart spaces and responsive environments.

Got a great idea? The first steps for applying for funding 
are simple, visit the New Media Scotland website for a 
copy of the guidelines and the application form, then call 
or e-mail the New Media Scotland team with any questions 
you may have or to schedule a free application surgery at 
Inspace in Edinburgh (23rd January or 13th February) or 
CCA in Glasgow (6th February).

The application deadline is 5pm on 19th February 2010.

The distribution of the awards is managed by New Media 
Scotland and funded by Scottish Screen and Scottish Arts 
Council.
