Prepare a profile you can use across opportunities
Keep the essentials ready before you begin your next application.
Keep a clear introduction
Prepare a short biography that explains what you make, where you work and what someone should know about your practice. Keep a longer version available for applications that request more detail.
Choose accessible work samples
Keep a small selection of current links, images and recordings. Check that links work for someone who is not signed into your account. Give each file a clear name and include the credits where relevant.
Adapt every submission
An award entry and a festival application may request different materials. Read the requirements each time and adapt your profile to the opportunity. Keep a copy of what you submit and note the deadline.
