Join us as an experienced peer assessor and artist, Andy Butler, shares invaluable insights gained from reviewing countless applications, including for Creative Australia (2021-2024).

Discover what makes an application shine—or falter—through the eyes of an assessor. Learn how panels interpret submissions, what common pitfalls to avoid, and how to ensure your application stands out for all the right reasons.
