APPLICATION REVIEW
Review Criteria
In reviewing applications for Creative Writing Fellowships, advisory
panelists consider solely the artistic excellence and
artistic merit of the work that is submitted. The
identity of the applicant is not known to the panelists.
What Happens to Your Application
Applications are evaluated according to the review criteria as set forth
in these guidelines.
After processing by Arts Endowment staff, applications are reviewed,
in closed session, by advisory panelists in the literature field. Each
literature panel comprises a diverse group of arts experts and at least
one knowledgeable layperson. Panel membership rotates regularly. Panel
recommendations are forwarded to the National Council on the Arts, which
then makes recommendations to the Chairman of the National Endowment for
the Arts. The Chairman reviews the Council's recommendations and
makes the final decision on all grant awards. Applicants are then notified
of funding decisions.
Applicants are welcome to attend meetings of the National Council on
the Arts and open policy sessions of advisory panel meetings.
