EOIs are due 9^th November. All EOIs will be reviewed by a Sydney Opera House expert panel including Shane Johnson (Head of Broadcast Studios) and Fiona Winning (Head of Programming). We will shortlist the applications and conduct interviews to select the two successful artists. You will be advised of the outcome by 7^th December. 

This mentorship is open for independent artists or small groups working in contemporary performing arts.

The artists must:

• Have a minimum of five years of professional practice
• Demonstrate basic understanding of video production, camera operation and editing
• Be available for all key meetings scheduled with SOH

• Demonstrated benefit of participation in the program
• Artistic merit of proposed idea
• Realistic scope and expectations of project, including a practical timeline and demonstrated support from collaborators
• Potential audience for the work

The outcome will be a short video piece co-produced between the artist and Sydney Opera House. The artists will retain copyright in the work and will grant Sydney Opera House a non-exclusive licence to communicate the digital work on our online channels. The Sydney Opera House will also have the exclusive right to premiere the work on our online channels for a period of 6 months.

All participants in the program will be required to sign a short independent contractor agreement with the Sydney Opera House Trust.
