The Jamaica Promotions Corporation says the evaluation phase of the government’s screen-based financing intervention, the Jamaica Screen Development Initiative, is now underway.
This comes after an extended validation of 406 applications, of which two-thirds advanced to the evaluation stage across several categories.
The evaluation of all applications is being undertaken by a panel comprising global industry experts.
The evaluators will assess applicants’ work history, project pitch, market potential, creative process, financial viability, market appeal, and the overall benefit to the
Jamaican economy.
To successfully advance to the evaluation phase of the JSDI, applicants must submit all required documentation in each category for which their project is seeking financing support.
Where documentation is not provided for a specific category, the applicant may not qualify to advance in that category but will be evaluated for eligible categories.
