Application
An individual or a group who wishes
to receive support from the KCAP Fund is required
to submit an application form
prescribed by the KCAF. The relevant information related to the application
process is published once a year in major Korean newspapers,
usually by the end
of September, and submissions are accepted for the period of one month, normally
October.
- Screening of Application
Once an application is submitted, it
is screened by the Steering Committee and Grant Screening Panels, subcommittees
from each art genre. Normally, there are two
screening sessions for each
application before a final agreement is reached, according
to the deliberation
of the year's budget by the Steering Committee.
An in-depth consideration by the
Steering Committee follows genre-specific
screening by each of eight committees
in the areas of literature, visual arts, music,
dance, theater, traditional
arts, experimental arts and arts-related culture.
A final decision on the project and
the size of support is made by the Steering
Committee, after considering the
distinct features of each support program and the
applied project. The members
of the Committee are appointed by the Minister of Culture and Tourism, while the
subcommittee members are chosen by the chairman of the KCAF. The term for every
member of the Committee and the subcommittees is one year.
- Points of Review
¡æ Artistic excellence of the
applied project
¡æ Validity and appropriateness
of the applied project
¡æ Expected contribution to the
development of the related field
¡æ Capability of the applicant
(individual or group)
- Final Decision and the Awarding
of Grants
The screening results are instantly
notified to the selected individual or group, and the
grant is paid either in a
lump sum or by installment.
- Evaluation of the Project
All the grant winners are required to
submit final report in a format specified by the KCAF within one month after the
production is finished. Once the report is received, the KCAF carries out its
own assessment based on the report. For some projects the KCAF carries out an
on-site evaluation with a team of experts, and all evaluation results are
reflected
in the screening process in the following years.
