Are you a comic creator who’s interested in applying for Arts Council England funding? If so, my successful application for a National Lottery Project Grant might be of use.

In October 2023, I received a National Lottery Project Grant from Arts Council England, the national development agency for creativity and culture, to produce an original 160-page graphic novel and deliver free comic-making workshops for children aged 8 to 11 in Gloucester.

While all applications are unique, I hope this sample application provides inspiration for your own project and helps familiarise you with the format and process.
