Deadline: February 1 2023
Apply now for the Doc Society Climate Story Fund 2023. The Climate Story Fund encourages captivating storytelling and global impact initiatives that advance a just and biodiverse future. Additionally, it will favor initiatives that exhibit inclusivity and diversity across teams and fields of study and employ ethical standards when involving communities and narrative participants.
It gives priority to climate stories that put the underserved, the disengaged, and the most impacted people at the center of the narrative. The Fund also gives priority to storytellers who are active in and from those communities and who share narratives that have a profound impact on unfamiliar and disinterested audiences, thereby engaging people in important discussions about climate justice.
With funding from the Climate Story Fund, they are searching for creative nonfiction projects that can wrap up production in 2023, including long form, short or episodic films as well as podcasts and radio documentaries. The Fund also supports finished works of creative nonfiction and fiction in any format that aim to launch a campaign in 2023 to engage audiences who aren’t generally involved in the conversation about climate change.
