That’s what I’ve understood from reading their guidelines and talking to Anna and Steve.

I wonder if that’s changed then – I’m sure that was the big difference between the DCD and Melt (Yorkshire’s version of the same sort of thing – http://www.lovemelt.com/). The Melt awardees are worth a browse.

The Shift Time festival had a “blogging project” which I was involved with in Shrewsbury and the organisation there was Shropshire Council who, to be the best of my knowledge, are not regularly funded by ACE. DCD is not for individuals but, as far as I know, any organisation or business working in the arts can apply.
