Application details

The INK2013 application will be made available here starting April 1st, 2013. The application is copied below for your reference so you can compose your answers before submitting them online. 

We want to know all about you and your work, and why you would make a great INK Fellow. You may answer Option A (written questionnaire) or Option B (YouTube video)

OPTION A

  1. Please indicate your field of endeavour (e.g. scientific research, photography, dance). You may include as many fields as are applicable.
  2. What is your passion, and what initiatives have you taken to support it?
  3. What have you achieved with your initiatives?
  4. Why is what you do unique?
  5. Why do you want to be an INK Fellow?
  6. What is your favourite INKtalk and why?
  7. Optional: You may upload one image, song (under 3 minutes), movie (under 3 minutes), or writing excerpt to support your application here. (No third party newspaper or blog articles, please. All content should be original.)
OPTION B

So, you want to apply to be an INK Fellow, but feel like none of the questions in this application relate to your life? You're discouraged, because you feel you'll never be able to express yourself properly if limited by the constraints of a written application? No problem. Create a 3-minute YouTube video about yourself. Include whatever you want and convince us why you should be an INK2013 Fellow. We will consider your application equally along with all written candidates.
