Application Process

The Blackbird Creative Lab application process has two components: 

  • Narrative responses and work samples for applicants to create offline and then submit via PDF online

  • Brief questions for applications to answer online

Before beginning the online application process, confirm your eligibility and review the complete application.

Download the application requirements HERE to review the complete application. All questions, including those asked in the online portion of the application, are included, as well as detailed on required formatting for all your materials. 

We recommend you answer all questions first in a saved document on your computer before beginning the online application.
