Awards will fund three stages of activity: Research and development (optional, depending on the stage ofdevelopment the project is at). Creation and production. Showcasing and presentation.

Awards are expected to be in the range of 20,000 80,000 depending on scale and ambition. Between 10and 20 awards are expected to be made under this round of funding. Professional, established disabled artistsand companies that support disabled-led work across all art-forms are encouraged to apply.

The key criteria that must be adhered to include: Disability-led, Quality, Innovation and ambition, Strong trackrecord of creating work and reaching audiences. Strong artist/producer relationship evidenced, Collaborationsand partnerships (including with non-disabled led companies/artists/producers). Flexibility/adaptability toensure works engage with a range of venue sizes/scales

For the 2015 round, Unlimited are looking to commission new work, i.e. that which may still be at a very earlystage of conception, or may already have undergone some form of research and development. Work can be inany art form, as long as it is innovative, varied, excellent and led by disabled artists. Unlimited is focused on

art, not disability; work may reference disability, or it may not.

The deadline for applications is 2 February 2015 (12pm).
