These scholarships will provide successful candidates with funds that can be used to help further their careers in the field of horror.

The Hume Nisbet Scholarship (AU$500) is open to all creatives (writers, editors, artists, film makers) with an established interest in the horror genre with Australian/NZ citizenship or permanent residency.
