New Zealand Writers Guild (NZWG) and New Zealand Film Commission (NZFC) are excited to announce an additional pathway for New Zealand writers under the highly successful NZWG Seed programme for new creative projects.
The NZWG Seed grants allow writers to be innovative, brilliant, and to create something they own, just as they see it. A producer is not required to access the grant.
Introduction of a new Seed Advanced element this year is aimed at reducing competition in the Seed pathway between emerging writers and more experienced writers.
The new grants acknowledge experienced writers by offering a higher grant level and flexibility around development costs.
