Insider Tips
- Your audio sample does not need to be technically polished — it simply needs to demonstrate genuine interest in and engagement with sound, so record something that reflects your curiosity or passion for audio storytelling. 2. Emphasise your grassroots background and financial need in your application if applicable, as priority is explicitly given to disadvantaged young women, PWDs, and refugees. 3. Since there is no academic requirement, focus your application on your creative motivation and connection to sound, music, film, or storytelling rather than any formal credentials.
