CREATIVE ENGINE'S LAUNCHPAD 2.0
APPLICATION FORM
Applications are now open for our industry-leading Creative Engine program, returning in a new format as Launchpad 2.0.
Building on a significant year of artist support in 2025, the refreshed program streamlines smaller grant rounds into one richer, year-round funding and mentorship opportunity, supporting eight performance-based artists.
From theatre, scriptwriting to dance, music, digital and community-based practices, artists across all live performance mediums from Geelong or with a connection to the region are encouraged to apply.
Launchpad 2.0 applications open once annually, closing at 5pm on Sunday 5 October. This refreshed program replaces all previous smaller grant round periods.
First Nations artists and artists from diverse backgrounds are encouraged to apply, and additional supports are available.
