Your real odds
Applications are reviewed on a rolling basis as they arrive, so there is no single competitive round where everyone is judged together.
The initial information-gathering phase drew 10 submissions covering 15 projects across 6 regions, which gives you a rough sense of the pool. Because funding depletes as awards are made, earlier applicants have a structural advantage over later ones.

Worth knowing
