5.1. Application Packets, 1993

Scope and content:

SPF applicants were required to submit project proposals as well as project budgets detailing funding sought from the BFHFI. Many applications include complete scripts, while others provide treatments or storyboards. Other supplementary material commonly found in application packets include press clippings, résumés, and letters of recommendation. Sample works on videocassette included with submissions are identified in the supplemental content to the applications; however, these videocassettes are arranged and described separately in the series Videocassette Submissions.

The items listed under "Originally Submitted Supplemental Content" are those indicated by the applicant as having originally been submitted to the BFHFI. In some cases materials described in this section were returned to the applicant by the BFHFI and are not held by BFC/A. This has been indicated where possible.

Except when unavailable, evaluation forms completed by the five judges, including comments and responses to proposals and sample works, are filed with the application packets.

Arrangement of the series follows the entry numbering system the BFHFI assigned to each application packet.
