Eligibility Criteria

• Applicants must be based in the UAE at the time of application as a UAE National or long-term Resident. 

**Are you based elsewhere in the Middle East and North Africa (outside the UAE)? ? Please note that Art Jameel and the British Council have launched a parallel programme specifically designed for practitioners and organisations from the MENA region.

• Applicants should demonstrate that they are active in and committed to their local creative communities in the UAE
• Applicants should demonstrate integrity of purpose and originality of thinking in their work in general and in the projects they are proposing
• Applicants should prioritise sustainable practices in their proposals, aiming for their projects to minimise environmental impact and work toward carbon neutrality

The committees will consider: 

• The nature of the project (whether the production or completion of a body of artworks/film/performance, piece of research or writing, curatorial or research paper for an exhibition, project and so on) – its integrity, originality and feasibility
• Adherence of the project to the eligibility criteria, theme and focus of the Research and Practice Platform as a programme specifically designed to address the climate crisis
• Plans for public engagement in the project (for e.g. where would the project be shown, opportunities for public programming around the project, who the target audience might be)
• The impact a grant would have on the practitioner’s ability to carry out the specific project
• Clarity of the written request and quality of supporting documents
• Whether the budget requested is appropriate for the project; the Platform aims to award as many projects as possible and appreciates applicants requesting an appropriate amount of funding between AED 3,600 ($1000) to AED 22,000 ($6000)
