For those applications that are turned down, what are the reasons they're turned down?
Applications are denied for two reasons: 1.it is not a clearly defined artistic project OR 2.the project is being produced PRIMARILY for commercial gain (i.e. buckets of cash for private benefit) rather than for altruistic and artistic purposes. This is a fine line and our staff will always contact an applicant whose application contains any "red flags" to discuss the project and amend the application if warranted.
