About the award
This incubator interview is for a creative practitioner turning their work into a sustainable enterprise. The panel considers the strength of the creative proposition, evidence of an audience or client market, command of pricing and rights, and a clear development goal.
How to prepare
- Select portfolio examples that support the type of creative enterprise you are proposing.
- Summarise what enquiries, commissions, sales or audience conversations have taught you.
- Calculate the labour, materials, delivery and rights included in your price.
- Check the programme's official guidance for accepted portfolio formats and current selection criteria.
- Define one commercial experiment you can complete during incubation.
Common mistakes
- Showing unrelated work without connecting it to the proposed enterprise.
- Setting prices by copying competitors while ignoring your own costs and rights.
- Describing social media attention as demand without evidence of enquiries or purchases.
