“The Pioneer Drama Service is accepting video contest entries from middle and high schools to support drama programs nationwide.
Through The Show Must Go On contest, Pioneer Drama will award more than $10,000 in scripts and royalties to middle and high schools for three-minute videos created by students and staff that demonstrate why “the show must go on” on at their school. Videos should demonstrate what the drama club or program is like now and why it wants to win the contest. In addition, entries should address how the drama club or program helps the school and students, the obstacles has it overcome, and how putting on a play will touch other lives.”

“The Sarah Jacobson Film Grant supports women “whose work embodies some of the things that Sarah stood for: a fierce DIY approach to filmmaking, a radical social critique, and a thoroughly underground sensibility.” This year we plan to give out grants of $2,000 each to support film projects in any stage of completion, from pre-production through distribution.
We are open to films of any length and genre, from documentary to experimental to narrative. We’re looking for projects that in some way embody Sarah’s spirit and represent the values that she articulated in her work—powerful representations of women, a do-it-yourself approach to filmmaking and life, and a passionate commitment to advancing equality without sacrificing fun. Check out some of our past winners’ projects by scrolling through the blog a bit.”

“So often, filmmakers spend so much of their resources making one film that it’s hard for them to produce another. But unlike festivals which give away awards for filmmakers’ past work, the Rooftop Filmmakers Fund is an opportunity to help deserving filmmakers make their next movie. We’ve been screening films since 1997, and every filmmaker who has ever shown a film with Rooftop is eligible for our grants—now over 1,800 artists. Past grantees have included Sean Durkin’s Martha Marcy May Marlene, Benh Zeitlin’s Beasts of the Southern Wild and Glory at Sea, Johannes Nyholm’s Las Palmas, Lucy Walker’s The Tsunami and the Cherry Blossom, and dozens more.
Rooftop Films has seven grants available—four for feature-length films and three for short films. In 2012, Rooftop Films will give away over $23,000 in cash grants, and over $50,000 in equipment and services.”

“Creation Grants support the creation of new work by Vermont artists. Applicants to this category must demonstrate that the primary component of their proposal is the funding of time, supplies, facilities (rehearsal or studio), etc. for their work. Projects may be at various stages of completion. There must be strong potential for public presentation of the work either during or after the grant period. Wherever possible, projects should strive to stimulate greater public understanding of the art form.
Examples of fundable projects include:
- A writer who wishes to complete the first draft of a novel and will conduct a series of readings of the new work at local libraries, OR
- A dance ensemble that will choreograph a piece to be available wholly or in part for touring to area presenters.”
