Roy W Dean Grant

This year's The Roy W. Dean Writing/Research Grant is open for applications; the deadline is May 18, 2007.

This will be a Writing/Research Grant for writers of screen plays, short films and documentary films for important issues that fit our criteria, must be "unique and make a difference to society". It is for writers who need uninterrupted time to work on projects in a beautiful, remote setting with a good computer, VCR, TV, RUV and a few sheep to tend.

The recipient of the award will receive 4 - 6 weeks at the Wye Cottage on the south island of New Zealand and air fare to the country, $120.00 NZ per week for groceries and gas, among other basic needs that will allow the writer to create work in an idyllic location.
