The annual Kat Muscat Fellowship offers professional development up to the value of $3,000 for an editorial project or work of writing by a young female-identifying or non-binary person.
The fellowship is given in honour of Kat Muscat, an acclaimed writer who passed away in 2015.
Muscat’s writing embodied her personal mantra of feminism, empathy and defiance, and each year the recipient of the fellowship is asked to take up her notion of challenge: exploring bold subjects, thinking deeply and critically about the world and the culture we consume, and reflecting and building on the craft of writing or editing.
Applicants must be female identifying or non-binary, and aged between 16 to 30 at the commencement of the Fellowship. The Kat Muscat Fellow is selected by the Custodial Committee of The Kat Muscat Legacy Projects, which includes members of Express Media’s board and staff, the Muscat family and appointed community members.
The 2017 scholarship was awarded to Melbourne based writer Fury, empowering them to research and draft a play investigating the relationship between lesbians and gay men during the early AIDS crisis.
Applications for The 2018Â Kat Muscat Fellowship are now open and close at 11.59pm on 14 January 2018. Find out all the details at Express Media.
