Regretably LIMF will be unable to return materials without a pre-paid reply envelope. Submissions should reach LIMF by mid-July, but ideally in the period April-June. LIMF programmes professional, non text-based work, which can include animation theatre, circus skills, mask, mime, clown and visual theatre. Ideally, the work should not have been performed in London previously.
