This checklist: https://qualifyafrica.com/o/minority-africa-pitches
Built only from what the listing states. Lines marked (our advice) are ours.
The application takes real work, by our reading.

1. CHECK YOURSELF AGAINST WHAT THEY ASK
[ ] links to work you have published before
[ ] you have to be able to report on the ground, and pitches go through their online form, not by email
[ ] no kill fee, so if the story is not published you are not paid

2. WHAT TO GET READY
[ ] Portfolio or work samples (A few of your best pieces, with a line on what you did in each.)
In their words: "an online pitch form: who you are, your background, the story idea, links to previous work, any personal connection to the story, and the multimedia formats you propose"

3. DATES
- No closing date is stated.
- Openings with no closing date can close once they have enough people, so sooner is safer. (our advice)
- On the date, the listing says: pitches are read on a rolling basis, with a reply usually within 21 days.

A job never asks you to pay to apply. A listing that charges shows the fee above, and it is paid only to the organisation. If anyone asks for money any other way, stop, and tell us: hello@qualifyafrica.com
