Frequently asked questions
Who can join the Artlist $100K Fund?
The application is open to all video creators worldwide above the age of 18. You can be a beginner or a seasoned pro – what matters is your creativity. Got a great idea? Don’t hold back! You don’t need to be an Artlist subscriber to apply. The application is open to both individuals and teams, but only one application per creator or team is allowed. Multiple entries will be disqualified. See the full Terms & Conditions.
How can I apply for the Artlist $100K Fund?
First, create a short video (up to 90 seconds) that showcases your $100,000 USD concept. Post the video on one of your social media channels: YouTube, Instagram or TikTok. Tag @artlist.io and use the hashtag #Artlist100KFund. Next, fill out the application form on the Artlist $100K Fund website. You’ll need to provide your full and accurate contact details, a link to the video you posted on your socials, and share a few words about yourself and your concept. That’s it! You're now in the running for the Artlist $100K Fund.
What type of project can I pitch?
Your $100,000 idea can be about anything. Go out-of-the-box and submit your wildest, biggest, most creative idea. It can be a YouTube video of you blowing up a tank while parachuting, an insane music video done all in 3D, an experimental short film that could only come from your creative mind, a feature-length film you’ve always wanted to shoot, or even a whole YouTube channel you want to start from the ground up.
How much will Artlist grant? How will the Artlist $100K Fund winner receive their grant?
One grant recipient will receive $100,000 USD in funding to bring their passion project or creative dream to life. The grant money will be delivered in installments, based on the progress and needs of the grant winners’ project. Please note that the grant may be subject to a tax deduction. For the full details see the terms and conditions.
How will the grant recipient be chosen? When will it be announced?
The Artlist $100K Fund is here to make one larger-than-life creative project happen. So what matters is your creativity and originality. Based on those two factors, Artlist will compile a shortlist of the top applications. If you’re on that shortlist, you'll need to create a more in-depth pitch deck and be available for a short video interview. Your pitch deck will need to include a more detailed outline of your project and production needs. You’ll be contacted with all the relevant information beforehand. Due to the expected volume of applicants and our commitment to reviewing each application thoroughly, the selection process could take some time. We aim to announce the Artlist $100K Fund winner by the end of November 2024. Creators selected for the shortlist will be notified via email A notification email will be sent even if your project was not selected. For the full details see the Terms & Conditions.
I don’t have an Artlist subscription, can I still apply?
Absolutely! The Artlist $100K Fund is open to all creators and you can join even if you don’t have an active Artlist subscription. It’s important to note, however, that the final project will have to include music and assets from Artlist. A 1-year Artlist Max subscription will be provided in addition to the grant money.
How do I know if my project pitch and video have been received/viewed?
Once you submit your project pitch via the application form on the fund website, you’ll receive an email confirmation. Our team will go through each and every application form submitted.
What’s the application deadline?
You must submit your pitch by October 24, 2024 at 11:59PM EDT. Any application submitted after this date won’t be eligible.
Can I send more than one application?
No. Only one application per person/team/company will be accepted. Creators who apply multiple times will be disqualified.
I’d like to pitch an idea but it requires less than $100,000 USD, can I still apply?
The Artlist $100K Fund is here to make one larger-than-life creative project happen, so dream big! If your concept requires funding of less than $100,000, try to go even further and justify the full grant amount.
If I win, will I retain ownership of my final project? / Will the winner have exclusive rights to their project after it's finished?
You maintain the rights to your project, but grant Artlist the license to showcase your work. We’re only interested in sharing your work on our social media, marketing materials, and celebrating your creativity with our community. You can see the full breakdown in the Terms & Conditions.
