There is on going disruption to Courier and Postal services in the South Island as a result of Tuesday’s earthquake in Canterbury. We are aware that this could affect some people who are submitting their applications to the next Arts Grants funding round, which closes at 5pm, Friday 4 March.

When sending your application to Creative New Zealand please ensure that:

• you keep a full copy of the application for your own records
• you keep a copy of the receipt
• when possible, send your application using a Track and Trace service so that you can trace the delivery and be aware of any delays.

If you are concerned that your application will, or has been, delayed by the disruptions to the postal and courier service please contact Rachel.Driscoll@creativenz.govt.nz or (04) 473 0184.
