Evaluation Criteria
- Creativity
- Its looking for projects that exhibit a unique point of view, something that we’ve either not seen before or not seen done in this way. There is no preference for a specific genre or format, instead preference is for originality and distinctiveness. You might like to include where the idea came from (your inspirations) as well as where you see it going (your vision).
- Feasibility
- As previously stated in question 3, the way you use the funds is up to you, however we will be looking for some evidence that the intended use of the grant will move the project forward in a significant way. This could be demonstrated by a brief summary of your intentions for the funds including when you expect to meet key milestones. Additionally, you may want to indicate what you see as your mentorship and/or consultation needs.
- Impact
- It’ll be looking for a description of how your intended project contributes meaningfully to the Detroit community. It might be that the content of your project is Detroit focused, or it could be that you intend to engage with members of the community in the production/execution of the project. There are a number of ways you might address this criteria, but what we’ll be assessing is the potential impact the project could have on the wider community.
