The committee is comprised of professionals working in the cultural sector in Africa, with knowledge of diverse artistic fields in the different regions.

If an application has been selected for support, the applicant will be asked to sign a contract with AMA. After the contract has been signed, the money will be transferred to the applicant’s bank account. However, AMA reserves all the rights to book and pay the flight tickets for the grantees through its own travel agent, for some specific cases where grantees are not able to find cheaper flights. More details will be communicated to the grantee on the procedures to follow. Stipulated in the contract is an agreement that obliges applicants upon return to the resident country to send receipts of all expenses of their trip to AMA’s office and write a short report about the experience. Some of these reports will be placed on AMA’s website to present them to a wider audience and showcase personal stories and experiences. Adherence to contract obligations is considered an important criterion when reviewing future applications by individuals who were previously accepted for support. Art Moves Africa encourages individuals to continue applying even if previously rejected. Application deadlines: 1 January (before midnight GMT) : for the travels starting from 1st March 1 May (before midnight GMT): for the travels starting from 1st of July 1 September (before midnight GMT) : for the travels starting from 1st of November As a rule, specified projects should begin at least EIGHT weeks after the announced deadline.
