What types of new media projects are eligible for a California Documentary Project grant?
The Council seeks original, interactive projects that document the California experience and explore issues of significance to Californians. New media projects must be solidly based in the humanities and be suitable for California and national audiences. Projects may incorporate a range of media formats and should capitalize on the interactive potential of the Internet, mobile technology or other digital media to engage users and cultivate user participation. The Council is particularly interested in projects that encourage active and continued collaboration between media makers and humanities advisors. Projects may be related thematically to companion films, radio documentaries, museum exhibitions, books, etc., but they should not be primarily promotional in nature. Please see www.calhum.org for a list of previously supported CDP new media projects.
