The project may involve collaborations with underrepresented artists or communities, and the approach clearly enhances community understanding and representation. • 4 — Good: The project demonstrates a strong commitment to EDI, engaging diverse communities and addressing accessibility and inclusion, but could include more concrete strategies or reach more underrepresented groups. • 3 — Satisfactory: The project considers some elements of EDI, but the approach may be superficial or underdeveloped. The focus may be on a narrow group, or the strategies for promoting diversity are not fully articulated. • 2 — Fair: The project has a limited focus on diversity or inclusion, with little to no direct engagement with underrepresented groups or contribution to equity. • 1— Poor: No focus on diversity, equity, or inclusion; the project does not engage with or address underrepresented communities or inclusive themes.
