      <content type="html"><![CDATA[
The motto for the Eferding Festival of Regions is a metaphor for planting today&amp;rsquo;s art and culture, whereby rare plants and blossoms are hoped for in all possible mutations and variations. Project proposals are invited from all artistic areas and genres. In an atmosphere of openness, projects with local specificity will be given preference nonetheless, along with endeavours that engage with the town&amp;rsquo;s social history and draw in as many strata of the population and individual positive forces as possible. Connotations with the festival motto of Digging Up will also be considered. Please visit the website for more details.

The Commonwealth Foundation is inviting filmmakers from across the Commonwealth to submit an idea for a short film about relationships. Individual filmmakers or collectives should submit a proposal which explores the theme of love in its broadest sense, whether inter&#45;racial, inter&#45;generational or within and between the sexes. The theme should be relevant to the filmmaker and their community. Films must be&amp;nbsp;original, bold and authentic in any genre which entertain as well as stimulate and encourage debate both locally and globally.&amp;nbsp;Funding of between &amp;pound;3,000 and &amp;pound;8,000 per film is available.

The three selected painters will each receive a bursary of &amp;pound;10,000 and one year of critical and professional development support from mentors. During the Fellowship year each artist will work towards a body of new work, which will be exhibited in a group show as part of the JVA programme at Jerwood Space, London in March 2013, before touring within the UK. The mentors will curate the exhibition. Entry fee of &amp;pound;25 per artist.
