The application process is light-touch, and proposals are not assessed; bursaries are awarded through a lottery selection to remove barriers in application and selection. As part of its commitment to being an anti-racist organization, four of the Lucky Dip Bursaries will be offered to global majority artists. Applicants must be aged 18 or over and reside in the UK.
