The Canada Media Fund and the Australian Government through Screen Australia announced a near CAD$800,000 incentive specifically for digital interactive works, at the Power to the Pixel conference in London.

The total maximum contribution for each funded project will be CAD$300,000. The contribution of each country to each project will be determined on a case by case basis and funding will take the form of a non-repayable contribution.

In order to facilitate creatives from both countries working together, the Canada Media Fund has setup a ‘Find a Producer’ portal for both Canadian and Australia creatives to register online.

Projects will be evaluated and chosen by a selection committee composed of representatives from both funding organisations. Recipients will be announced in late February 2016.
