Applications are accepted year-round; the workshop committee meets in the summer each year to review the applications and plan the subsequent calendar year’s activities. The workshop committee has already decided on the workshop offerings for 2026. New applications will most likely be considered for 2027. However, if you are ready with your application now, we invite you to send it to us in the event that a spot opens up that would be appropriate for the workshop you are pitching.

Visit QWF's Workshops page to learn more about our workshops.
