How does Fidget decide what proposals get chosen?

Each submitted proposal will be reviewed by a panel composed of Megan Bridge and Peter Price (Fidget’s co-directors), as well as two members of Fidget’s staff/Programming Committee, who will rotate. The proposal will be evaluated by a rubric, followed by a conversation between the panel members. If the proposed work is not chosen to be supported, the applicant will receive feedback.
