Applicants must be over 18 years of age.

You must have resided and worked in one of the participating five counties from October 1, 2009 to October 1, 2010 and must apply from the county of your residence.
The Consortium awards the Fellowships contingent on proof of residency, which may include one or more of the following: property tax record; lease agreement; voter’s registration; or an IRS income tax return for 2009.

On or before the NOVEMBER 15, 2010 deadline, visual and media artists must submit applications in digital format and online, via CaFÉ™ at https://www.callforentry.org, At this site you will find step-by-step instructions on how to register, apply and prepare your images for upload.

Miami, Florida 33128
Attn: Brandi Reddick
SELECTION PROCESS
Submissions are grouped by county, assigned a number upon entry into the CAFÉ system, and projected for viewing according to the sequence of their assigned numbers. A regional panel consisting of regional visual and meida arts experts reviews the submissions in the visual arts and media arts categories and forwards its recommendations to the national panel.
The regional panelists review submissions anonymously, without the use of support materials. The national panel consists of experts in the visual and media arts. The national panel reviews the recommendations from the regional panel. Support materials are provided to the national panel for their review. The national panel’s recommendations are reviewed and ratified by the South Florida Cultural Consortium.
All panelists are required to follow the conflict of interest policy established by the Miami-Dade County Department of Cultural Affairs.
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
I’ve already won a Fellowship. May I apply again?
A moratorium of five years is imposed on recipients who received the $15,000 fellowship between 2006 and 2010 (applications submitted 2005-2009). A moratorium of three years is imposed on recipients of a $7,500 fellowship between 2008 and 2010 (applications submitted 2007-2009).
How many artists applied for 2010?
The number of visual arts applications for the 2009-2010 cycle from the Consortium counties was: Broward, 74; Martin, 5; Miami-Dade, 149; Monroe, 25; and Palm Beach 62. For media applicants, the numbers for 2009-2010 were: Broward, 1; Martin, 0; Miami-Dade, 14; Monroe, 0; and Palm Beach 0.
How many fellowships will be awarded in 2011?
The number of fellowships granted per Consortium county for the 2011 cycle depend on the panel’s decisions regarding award levels for each county (i.e., the panel can make all $15,000 awards or has the option to award two $7,500 fellowships per County) and therefore can be: three or four for Broward; five or six for Miami-Dade; and one or two for Palm Beach and one or two for the collective counties of Martin and Monroe.
Please note that funding for the fellowship program is contingent upon the approval of FY2010-2011 budgets of the individual member counties of the South Florida Cultural Consortium.
