Escalator East To Edinburgh Proposal: (400 words)
An outline of what you would like to do. You can include links to websites / video clips / supporting material
How will the company benefit from the Edinburgh Festival? (200 words) Why the Edinburgh Festival specifically rather than other outlets for the work. This is particularly relevant to companies and artists returning to the festival. You will need to demonstrate how this opportunity is a progression and strategic investment for your work rather than a perennial outing.

Finance, Budget & Length Of Run (400 words):
Ideally we’d like you to include a very rough spreadsheet with indicative costs which reflect length of run. Ideal venue options and reasoning will be useful. Length of run is important. Please read guidelines carefully here. Split venue is a new option here. Please note the proposal will be assessed by professionals with a keen sense of Edinburgh costings so the more realistic and reasonable the budget the better your chances of success.
Disability Access Initiatives (400 words):
We are keen to hear about any thoughts or ideas you have in making your show accessible to disabled people. There are a huge number of ways this can be done and we hope to offer support and advice in the area as this is a learning process for the scheme too. Please see guidelines.
Audience (200 words):
How you might engage with the public, how the work will benefit audiences in the short and long term, both in Edinburgh and beyond.
