South Dublin County Council Arts Office would like to invite proposals for the 2018 Creative Ireland South Dublin Awards.  There are three strands to the Awards Programme.

Artist & Creatives Collaborative Practice Award 
This 2018 Creative Ireland South Dublin initiative seeks to support an artist or creative in any discipline, or working across disciplines in their collaborative practice. The successful proposal will have both a developmental aspect of the creative practice, and a community collaborative element to it. It will engage with one of the cultural venues or organisations in the county. The amount of the award is €15,000. 

Incubation Award for emerging groups and collectives
This 2018 Creative Ireland South Dublin initiative seeks to support collectives/groups of emerging young artists and creatives in any discipline, or working across disciplines, to develop their practice and to promote their presence as a creative and recognisable voice in the County. The amount of the award is €5000. It is available to young people under 25 years who are living in the South Dublin County Council’s Administrative Area.

Schools Cultural Award
This initiative seeks to support primary schools, second level schools and programmes that offer opportunities to early school leavers to complete their education, to develop programmes and projects in the disciplines of Drama, Dance and Visual Arts that will enrich arts practice in schools in the county. The maximum amount of any award is €2000. Five awards will be made in 2018.
