Regional Scribes: Screen Edition

Regional Arts Australia invites people aged 18-24 with an interest in writing for, or about, screen projects to submit an EOI to be part of Regional Scribes: Screen Edition.

Regional Scribes: Screen Edition is an opportunity for young people in any stage of their screen writing and storytelling journeys to overcome the vastness of space and isolation by coming together virtually to meet with like minded peers across the country.

Successful Regional Scribes participants will get to:

Take part in five monthly online meet-ups
Connect with peers in meaningful ways via phone and the internet
Hear from guest speakers active in their screen journeys
Receive $500 towards your own professional development
Access materials to support your creative practice

Access to the internet is a requirement, but not a hurdle. If you are interested in the Regional Scribes program and would like some assistance achieving a better quality of internet, or the right materials to participate, please do not hesitate to contact the Regional Scribes Facilitators for a confidential chat.

If you have any other access needs, please detail them in the form below so that Regional Scribes can accommodate everyone to the best of our ability.

If you have any other questions, queries, or concerns, please reach out to Regional Scribes Facilitators Brooke, Trav and Alysha at scribes@regionalarts.com.au
