Applications for 2024 National Folk Fellowship opens on 3 March 2023.
Folklorists are encouraged to apply for the National Folk Fellowships supported by the National Library of Australia and the National Folk Festival
The Fellowship provides support for professional development of artistic practice through research in the Library’s extensive folklore and related collections, as well as the documentation of the Fellow’s work for the Library’s Collection.
Successful applicants will have special access to the Library’s collection material, supported by expert staff, full office facilities including a designated workstation, and an honorarium to contribute towards to travel and accommodation expenses.
The outcome of this residency at the National Library will result in a performance at the 2024 National Folk Festival and a presentation at the National Library. It is a requirement that Folk Fellowship creates material suitable for inclusion in the Library’s Oral History and Folklore collection. We recommended that applicants align their proposal with the Library’s collecting priorities (see section 2 of the NLA’s collecting strategy).

Applications for National Folk Fellowship will close on Monday 19 June 2023.
