Application guidance

Applicants should approach the Climate Story Unit with a well-researched, character-led narrative that demonstrates a clear understanding of the climate issue at hand. Avoid proposals that read as campaign pitches or that rely on alarmist rhetoric. The Unit favors projects with a strong journalistic foundation, a compelling visual approach, and a realistic plan for reaching audiences. Before applying, review the Doc Society Climate Story Fund guidelines carefully; ensure your budget and timeline are credible, and articulate how your story offers a fresh perspective rather than reiterating familiar tropes. A concise, thoughtful treatment that foregrounds story over statistics will fare better than a sprawling, issue-heavy proposal.
