Your real odds

Earlier applications in the cycle have a real advantage because funding is explicitly subject to availability, and the window runs all the way to February 16, 2027.

No success rate or award count is published, so you are working without a benchmark. What the funder weighs is not disclosed beyond the availability-of-funds constraint.

Worth knowing

This program covers broader international promotion campaigns alongside festival attendance and participation costs, so you can build an application around more than one trip. Apply early in the cycle, before the available pool shrinks.
