Open Call: Pitch Your Project IWD 2026
Posted: 09/01/2026
Calling all artists, creatives and community-focused, women-led initiatives in the SO postcode!
‘A space’ arts are looking to award a £2000 bursary to a creative, community-focused, women-led initiative in the SO postcode. Projects will be selected by the community, for the community, at a live event where applicants pitch their ideas to an audience who then vote for the projects they’d like to see awarded the funding.
To celebrate International Women’s Day, this round of the Pitch Your Project bursary scheme is specifically for women-led initiatives.
We are inviting you to submit a short proposal about your project which tells us a little bit about you and your creative background. Your proposal can be written or recorded and sent via this form, email, voice note or a video. Proposals should be around 450 words or less (if written) or 3 minutes or less (if recorded)
If this sounds like the right opportunity for your practice, please follow the link to read more information and to submit your proposal.
