Receive feedback on an application
The feedback system is based on consultations with professional artists who have served on various juries. That process helped the CALQ develop tools for jury members to indicate how a grant application could be improved. The feedback system meets artists’ expressed need for information on how to improve their future grant applications and is in line with the CALQ’s commitment to supporting artists. Recently, the CALQ also created the CALQ grant primer This link will open in a new window, a series of videos that provide advice on writing grant applications.
The new system is being implemented first for the CreationThis link will open in a new window section of the general grant program and will subsequently be expanded to the other sections. Artists will be informed at the appropriate time. Only artists who submitted an application after August 27, 2022 will receive feedback. The evaluation grid used by the juries is available to download.
How to proceed
As soon as the response is available in your online accountThis link will open in a new window, you can click on the status of your request to access the link to retrieve your feedback. Note that the link will be available only for files for which feedback is offered, i.e. for applications to the Creation section of the general grant program submitted on or after August 27, 2022.
When the explanatory document is available, it will be posted to the Inbox of your online file and you will receive an email informing you that you have a new message.
While the feedback is intended to help artists improve their chances of success on future grant applications, there is no guarantee of success, as the CALQ’s ability to award grants is limited by its budget allocation.
