Video Pool is accepting proposals for a 60 - 90 minute thematic package of

package, writing a 2000 word contextual essay, overseeing the
design of discursive and promotional materials, the creation of summary
reports and contacting host venues for the tour of the
package. The curator may also choose to travel with the package, dependent
on funding, in order to introduce the package.
The successful curator will work with Video Pool Distribution Department,
reporting on a monthly basis, to coordinate and execute
the tour.

Pending funding approval, the curator will receive a total of $3000 for
creating the package, submitting an essay and arranging the
tour. Video Pool will also support the curator's travel as required.
Proposals will be reviewed by a jury made up of Video Pool Staff,
Board and Producers Group Members.
