*SCAPE Creative Fellowship Season 6 (CF6) FAQ
  1. What is the expected commitment for the programme?

While we expect consistent participation for teams to get the most out of their programme experience, we also realise that running a startup is a full-time commitment.

Our programme sessions are several hours per week of formal activities which are designed to complement and fast-track the work startups are doing to accelerate their business. Programme sessions will be a mix of in-person and virtual sessions (hybrid format) to enhance the programme experience.

  1. Who is eligible for the programme?

The ideal participants for our programme are creative youth, youth entrepreneurs and startups as the programme is designed to support youth in turning their ideas into creative and sustainable businesses.

At least one of the founders should be a Singaporean Citizen/ Permanent Resident and at least one founder should fall under the youth category (18 – 35 years old). For this sixth edition of the Creative Fellowship programme, we are looking at bringing together youth entrepreneurs that are working across any of the following pillars:

  1. Promoting Sustainable Living: Youth-led businesses working at the nexus of and promoting sustainable lifestyles (e.g. sustainable food, beverage and retail; sustainable agriculture, green systems and transport etc.)
  2. Enabling Community Growth: Youth-led enterprises that aim to improve the wellbeing of the society that they live in (e.g. education and life skills development; lifestyle, health and wellness; community infrastructure and development etc.)
  3. Amplifying Creative Voices: Youth using creative arts as an avenue to achieve their vision, spotlight sustainability and social issues, and/ or enable the production and consumption of the arts in a more sustainable manner (e.g. audio content creation, music, dance, visual arts, multi/interdisciplinary arts, social media etc.)
