Screen Australia’s First Nations Department and Instagram Australia are inviting applications for the 2023 Instagram First Nations Creators Program.

Now in its third year, the immersive program is an opportunity for up to 15 First Nations recipients to receive funding, educational experiences, and fostered growth to help create long-term career prospects in social media and digital content creation.

Up to 15 emerging digital creators will be provided with in-person training, practical workshops, mentoring, career connections, equipment, and content funding.

To enter, each applicant must submit a short one-minute video about themselves including their social accounts, some detail on the type of content they create, their inspirations and goals, and some First Nations Creators they admire and follow.

To participate in the program, creators must be over 18 years of age and identify as Aboriginal and/or Torres Strait Islander.

Creators must have an Instagram account as well as experience in social media or digital video content creation and be available to attend the program in Sydney in October 2023.
