National Folk Festival

The National Library of Australia and the National Folk Festival grant a fellowship each year for folk practitioners to research a project at the National Library, and then present that project in the main venue at the Festival. For further information, go to the Fellowship Information Page.

The fellowship is open to anyone, and we particularly encourage people who were unsuccessful in previous years to re-apply.

The application can be found on the Fellowship Application page.
