Support the Prism Comics Queer Press Grant
Every year, Prism awards a significant Queer Press Grant to assist in the publication and promotion of LGBT comics. The grant is funded by donors who are either creators who want to help others just starting out, or fans who want to see more LGBT creators get published.
Grant Application Process
Grant proposals must be submitted in the form of an e-mailed request and must include the following items (as either PDF or JPG format files):
- Cover letter that states the project title and why the project is of interest to the readers of LGBT comics
- Creator’s statement of purpose (separate from the cover letter)
- Business plan and budget detailing how funds (in US dollars) will be spent and obtained, including an intended time period
- Resume (for each contributor, if more than one)
- Financial statement (for each contributor, if more than one) — fill out the form provided by Prism Comics and include attachments as required
- Presentation of the work to date in JPG images, with an appropriate resolution that suits your work. Most submissions will be reviewed online, unless specifically requested otherwise.
When to apply:
Proposals are reviewed on an annual basis by the Prism Comics Board of Directors, with the Prism Comics Advisory Board being called in should there be a tie. Requests must be received by the deadline date to be considered at that review. Early application is encouraged. For more information, click here.
