community tickets & Sponsorship

Submission closed

What

We have 15 free tickets available for anyone in our community who feels they need them.  Three of those 15 tickets include a sponsorship, which covers travel and accommodation up to €1000.

Who?

We are trialling a self-nomination device that does not have any specific criteria. If you think you deserve a free ticket or sponsorship to attend, then please apply. We particularly encourage people from under-represented groups and those facing economic difficulties to apply.

How?

Nominations close on April 21st. We will review all applications as a team and decide on 12 people who will receive a free ticket. And a further 3 people who will receive a sponsorship. Our selection will be based on need and potential contribution to the community. The selected people will be announced by May 1st.
