Applicants can apply after creating something new or by inspiring others.

Musicians have been successful in their applications, as have those in technology, sports, science, art, social innovation and medicine.

Funds can be used for a range of activities including travel, equipment and research.

Successful recipients have included singer-songwriters Yirrmal, Emily Wurrama, Bec Sandridge, Josh Rennie-Hynes, Demi Louise and Briana Clark.

Others have included jazz pianist and composer Harry Mitchell, live music venue operator Alison Avron, screen composer Angela Little, and performing arts producer Chris Archer.
