Selected Grant Recipients: 2022 African Australian Creative Media Grants
In continuing the Scanlon Foundation’s commitment to amplifying the voices of communities, this year we ran the second edition of the African-Australian Creative Media Grants.
The program supports African Australian storytellers and platforms that operate in a range of creative industries.
Interest in the grant program exceeded our expectations as we received a total of 91 applications across three streams (Platform Development, Content Creation, and Live Events).
Our selection panel, comprised of Flex Mami, Chris Vaughan, Jessica Bailey, Ammar Yonis, and three Scanlon Foundation staff, recently met to finalise the successful applicants for the program.
We would like to deeply thank all those that applied for their time and efforts in creating a submission.
Below are our selections for the 2022 grant round and an honourable mention of those that made the final shortlist.
