What happens if my application is successful?

Each successful 2023 Anniversary Documentary project is eligible to receive one of 80 available $20,000 production grants from TELUS to produce their project and the producing teams will receive mentorship and training. The 80 successful projects will also receive distribution on select TELUS platforms. 

Grants are only available to residents of eligible BC and Alberta communities. Before the funding is provided, the Project Lead must submit current proof of residency for the address listed on their submission.

If the Project Lead wishes to execute the TELUS Grant Agreement under a company name, the Project Lead must own and control at least 51% of the company and the company must be located in the Project Lead’s community of residence.

The successful Project Lead must attend mandatory online Content Creator Info Sessions on Aug 23, 2023, Sept 7, 2023 and Jan 13, 2024. The info sessions are a vital part of the STORYHIVE process for all Project Leads.
