National Folk Fellowship
The annual National Folk Fellowship is offered jointly by the National Library of Australia and the National Folk Festival. First awarded in 2004, the Fellowship offers a unique opportunity to research original folklore material from archival collections held in the National Library.
The Fellowship offers one four week residency at the National Library of Australia in Canberra, leading to a guaranteed performance at the Easter National Folk Festival. The Fellowship is normally undertaken 3 to 6 months before the Folk Festival to allow time to develop performance outcomes.
Fellowships are awarded only once: subsequent applications will not be considered. The Fellowship is open to overseas applicants but only travel within Australia will be reimbursed.
2008 applications are now open
