7:30 What is a work sample? What is it for?
A work sample is a representation or documentation of your creative work.
Work samples can introduce your art to the world, communicate your creative process, demonstrate your commitment to your discipline(s), and explain what sort of creative work you do.

13:54 How these work samples are different from other applications
Typically, work samples are intended to show reviewers examples of past work for future project funding. But this award is not project-based.
BANF is interested in work samples that showcase your your artistic practice.
Consider the work samples alongside the narrative questions.
With the work samples submitted, BANF celebrates the work of BIPOC artists in our community, whether or not they are awarded.
