Screen Australia have released today the proposed options paper for the Australian Interactive Games Fund and has invited the local games industry for important feedback.
(Screen Australia) This options paper is intended to stimulate discussion and includes a number of key questions on which Screen Australia would like feedback. It outlines Screen Australia’s aims in providing funds to the industry and the principles underpinning how it might do this to make a meaningful impact. It also proposes several program options currently being considered as ways of targeting the support.
The Options paper is available online for download as a PDF file here. It's also available in six separate sections on the Screen Australia website with each topic accompanied with a comments area where you can provide your feedback and follow the discussion. Before posts can be made, however, you will need to provide authentication via Facebook, Twitter or Google+, or through the Disqus commenting system. Submissions can also be sent via email to gamesfund@screenaustralia.gov.au which will be added to the discussion online (unless specified not to).
Screen Australia will be accepting feedback on the optioncs paper until Friday the 25th, January 2013. Your feedback will be highly important in steering the course of the Australian Interactive Games Fund, so please take part!
