REGIONAL SCRIBES: SCREEN EDITION
EOIs NOW OPEN UNTIL FRIDAY 9TH OCTOBER 2026

CALLING ALL YOUNG WRITERS AND STORYTELLERS AGED 18 - 24 IN REGIONAL AND REMOTE AUSTRALIA

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

Regional Scribes has been thoughtfully designed to be responsive and flexible to the needs of each cohort. Regional Arts Australia is committed to providing access for all participants and will work with selected participants to support equitable participation wherever possible. 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.
