The selected project will receive a £20,000 commission to create a new outdoor work. Artists are not expected to secure additional match funding. Performers' fees and agreed touring costs will be covered separately by The Place and are not expected to come from the £20,000 commission. Performers on tour will be paid a minimum of £660 / week, plus holiday and pension pay. Any additional performances will be paid through a performance fee negotiated with the presenting partner; the performance cost is expected to be within £2,000 per day, including travel, accommodation and per diems when possible.

Artists applying must: Be based in the UK. Be applying for a work with a strong and distinctive movement element - we welcome applications from dance artists as well as artists from other disciplines who use movement in their practice. Have previous experience of making and touring high quality work in different contexts. Not apply with a work that has been submitted to Stomping Ground before unless it's had further development since applying. Not currently be in education (unless at PhD level). Applications are invited from UK-based artists who define themselves as having an established practice, and track record of making and presenting high quality work. Applications are particularly welcomed from those who are underrepresented in the dance sector, including artists from Global Majority backgrounds, artists who identify as LGBTQIA+, deaf, disabled, neurodivergent artists and artists from lower socio-economic backgrounds.
