2025 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship Panelist Nomination Form
Panelists are integral to the NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship grant-making process. Panelists are New York-based artists, cultural workers, educators, and community leaders who carefully review NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship applications throughout multiple scoring rounds and participate in a virtual panel discussion.
Panel nominees should be reliable individuals with a commitment to the arts and expertise in one or more of the artistic disciplines offered for the 2025 cycle:
- Architecture/Environmental Structures/Design
- Choreography
- Music/Sound
- Photography
- Playwriting/Screenwriting
NYFA assembles diverse panels, considering gender, ethnicity, cultural background, and geographic location. Panelists’ names are kept confidential until the awards are announced.
Panelist Eligibility:
- 2025 NYSCA/NYFA Artist Fellowship applicants are not eligible to serve as 2025 panelists.
- Panelists must be residents of New York State and/or one of the Tribal nations located therein.
Panelist Responsibilities:
- Commitment: January 2025 – April/May 2025*
* End date dependent on the discipline you are participating in.
- Attend a virtual Panel Orientation meeting prior to receiving applications for review.
- Review and score the submitted applications at your own pace over multiple review rounds.
