When using our online application portal (powered by SmartyGrants) please consider the following points:

• Smarty Grants does have an auto save function. You must manually save as you go. The system will 'time out' after approximately 30 minutes of inactivity.
• You can save your incomplete application, log out and return to complete or up date at any time before the Round closes.
• Questions marked with a red asterisk are mandatory. You will not be able to submit your application until they are answered.
• Once you press submit, the application will be locked and forwarded to Screen Tasmania and you will no longer be able to make changes. Should you have new information which was unavailable before the closing of the round you will need to contact the relevant Project Officer to re-open the application at their discretion.
• Smarty Grants is unable to read the information contained in uploaded documents. This is why, at times, you will be asked to provide similar information within the Smarty Grants form. This is so the data can be captured and processed.

Should you have any suggestions to improve the process please contact the relevant Project officer on 03 61655 5070, or info@screen.tas.gov.au
