Got a wild idea? A passion project that keeps you up at night? If you’re 18-25 and based in Australia or Aotearoa, we’re giving out $1,000 AUD microgrants (no strings attached) to help bring big ideas to life.
It takes less than 30 minutes to apply – just a quick form and a 90-second video. No essays, no fluff, just you and your big idea.
$1,000 and a community of creative minds could be yours.
We’re funding strange, quirky, ambitious, and downright audacious passion projects. A passion project can be anything. Think metaverse art exhibitions, battle bots, space drones, theatre shows, films, opera podcasts, a travelling STEM roadshow, apps, and more!
Protostars is more than a cash grant. When you receive one of the grants, you also join a program and a community of next-gen worldbuilders, creatives, visionaries and innovators. Together, you create your passion projects, raise each other’s ambition, and hype each other up!
Applications are open until Wednesday 5 March, 12PM AEDT.
