- Mentoring from Kinetika Artistic Director Ali Pretty
- A funded commission to devise and deliver a participatory walking event
- A platform within the 2026 T100 Festival to showcase their practice
- Support with community engagement, logistics, and material
Applications are open until midday on Thursday 18th December.
