As Darren says on the Northern Voice website:
This year Northern Voice is offering six travel bursaries of CAN $500 each. The organizing committee will be awarding these bursaries based on a number of criteria, including:
- The contributions you can make to the conference
- Your level of need
- The quality of your submission
- The diversity you might bring to Northern Voice
We’ll announce the recipients of the bursaries on February 2nd, 2007. The bursaries will be paid out via cheque mailed out to recipients or picked up on the day of the conference.
To apply, write a blog post, or record a podcast or video blog post describing why you want to come to Northern Voice. Then submit it via our travel bursaries page.
Essentially we’re trying to make the conference more accessible to folks who otherwise might not able to attend. So if you’re thinking of coming and you have a barrier to it – travel, accommodations, etc. – then be sure to apply. We want a new, diverse group of people contributing every year.
