The Northern Territory Government’s 2022-23 Screen Territory Funding Program is officially open with funding available to support NT screen practitioners and attract productions to the Northern Territory.

Round 1 will see funding available for NT screen practitioners to apply for Story Development, Industry Partnerships, Audience Development and Production Finance grants.

Now in its second year, the 2022-23 Screen Territory Funding Program is also offering a Production Attraction Incentive Program, which is open to all Australian and international producers, production companies and studios.

It aims to attract and increase screen productions in the Territory, which not only provides upskilling opportunities for local screen practitioners, but delivers huge benefits to the NT economy.

Territory screen practitioners can also apply for Travel and Career Development grants, with both strands open year around.

Round 1 closes Monday, 10 October 2022, so get in quick!
