*SOCIETY FOR ANIMATION STUDIES*

*A CALL FOR PROPOSALS: EVENT FUNDING 2016/17*??????

The S.A.S. welcomes applications for Event funding at one of two levels:

Conference seed support ??? up to a total of $500 to help run a symposium 
or conference

Event Sponsorship ??? up to a total of $250 to sponsor the symposium or 
conference.

Events must be held prior to November 2017 and promote Animation 
Studies. The funding is intended to support symposia or academic 
gatherings that are perhaps smaller than a full conference, or to 
provide sponsorship to raise awareness of the society at larger events.???

The selection committee will give preference to events that are 
organized by S.A.S. members or which will include S.A.S. members, and 
also reserves the right to remain flexible in its disbursement of the 
total funding, with $500 USD remaining the cap for a single award.???

Applications for both the seed funding and the sponsorship should 
address the following criteria:??????

- the purpose and scope of the proposed event???

- the name of the applicant who serves as the event organizer, including 
others who will assist you???

- the location of the event and the dates you propose to hold it???

- the means by which people will be selected to present or take part

- how you plan to encourage postgraduate participation???

- the estimated cost of the event and a general budget, including 
admission fees, if any

- the relevance of this event to the promotion of animation studies??????

Award winners must acknowledge the support of the S.A.S. in all program 
materials, and must submit a written summary of the event to the S.A.S. 
newsletter by Spring 2018.  S.A.S branding will be supplied by the 
board.  We will also help publicise your event through our website and 
social media channels.??????

The deadline to apply is *20 February 2017* (funds must be spent by 
November). Applicants must send their request by email, adhering to the 
above guidelines, to Nichola Dobson at (nichola.dobson /at/ gmail.com) 
<mailto:(nichola.dobson /at/ gmail.com)> ??????

The award recipients will be announced in May 2017, after review by a 
selection committee.
