Proposals for the grant are accepted up to the Wednesday before that month’s Sunday Soup event.

Those with accepted proposals will attend that Sunday’s event, paying the $5 admission fee, and will be given the opportunity to make a presentation and answer any potential questions.

When all presentations have been completed, the audience (including the artists themselves) will vote on the project they like the most.

The proposal with the most support will be awarded the Sunday Soup grant at the end of the day.
