The Shaw Rocket Fund Board of Directors holds up to three meetings each fiscal year to consider applications.

Eligible applications will be evaluated on the basis of creative quality, financial strength and the values and benefits that it provides to the intended target audience.

Preference will be given to projects that:

• promote positive role-modeling;
• Have innovative digital media components (i.e. website, mobisodes, webisodes, games etc);
• provide cross-cultural representation;
• provide closed captioning for the deaf and hearing impaired or audio description for the visually impaired;
• are original and have the potential for a long shelf life;
• Demonstrate favourable sales revenues and recoupment potential for the Fund; and
• have both English and French broadcast licenses with components that include double shooting and/or quality dubbing or some combination thereof.
