Creative Victoria PAX Rising Grants scheme now open

If you're a Victorian-based studio heading to PAX AUS 2021, sign up!

Creative Victoria’s PAX Rising Grants scheme is now open, available to Victorian-based game businesses that are exhibiting at PAX AUS 2021.

A total pool of $30,000 AUD is available to businesses with an ABN that have already been accepted into PAX AUS 2021; those with a PAX Rising Pod can receive $750 AUD to help cover costs, while those with PAX Rising Booths will receive $1,500 AUD.

No further funding beyond the $30,000 AUD detailed will be available, so funding will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The scheme runs ntil 31 August 2021, or when the budget pool is exhausted. Recipients will be informed of their success by 7 September 2021.

If you meet the criteria, you can apply here.

PAX AUS 2021 is scheduled for 8-10 October 2021 at the Melbourne Convention and Exhibition Centre.

About the author

Steve Wright

Steve's the owner and Editor-in-Chief of Stevivor.com, the country’s leading independent video games outlet. Steve arrived in Australia back in 2001 on what was meant to be a three-month working holiday before deciding to emigrate and, eventually, becoming a citizen.

Stevivor is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’, which made more sense back in 2001 when Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.
