The hope is that it will serve as an incubator for short films that reflect the creativity, diversity and truly unique voices of the region. The call for applications is open to short films of all kinds, including drama, animation, documentary and experimental art films, from directors, writers and creative producers. Competition is expected to be fierce for the total fund of €20,000 which will be awarded to two successful projects. Both winners will receive €7,000 in production funding and €3,000 worth of equipment hire, in December 2025, with production commencing in 2026. At least one of the creative team must be either from or living in Wexford and the film must have either a cultural focus on Wexford be based in the county. Applications for the fund opened at the end of June and will remain open until Monday September 30, 2025.
