Applications for Kultour’s 2009 Touring Program have now closed. Applications for Kultour’s 2010 Program will open in late 2008.

Once a year Kultour invites applications from artists for tour ready work which reflects Australia’s cultural diversity.

Applicants will be asked to complete an application form and submit support material which strongly documents the quality and nature of their work.
SELECTION PROCESS
Selection of successful Kultour applicants is made by representatives of the 10 Kultour Company Member organisations. Selection follows a two-fold process:

Members evaluate each individual application according to the above eligibility criteria and the following key Kultour selection criteria:
1.
Artistic Merit
2.
Logistics and achievability: includes portability and marketability
3.
Diversity of arts practice/innovation/challenging
4.
Development of artists and organisations
5.
Development of multicultural arts practice / community engagement /
   
cultural relevance / audience development
Secondly Kultour Company Members register their level of interest in acting as presenter of the product detailed in the application form and the company seeks expressions of interest from other Australian presenters.

Successful Kultour applicants are those that have scored the highest in both the key selection criteria, and the number of interested presenters.
WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU ARE SELECTED
Successful applicants are included in the Kultour annual touring program. With the support of the Australia Council, the Kultour company members and various Kultour partners, Kultour will manage and arrange funding for all aspects of the tour.
