Description

We’re launching the Groups Fund to encourage collaboration through IdeasTap groups and involve as many of our members as possible in the process.

We’re offering 12 awards of £2,500 to fund IdeasTap group projects that will do the most for the rest of the IdeasTap community.

We’re looking for great collaborative ideas for productions, exhibitions, workshops, events, short films, performances - to name just a few possibilities. The Groups Fund is open to ideas from all creative disciplines, from IdeasTap members aged 16-30.

The key is that projects must be based around an IdeasTap group with at least ten members - and involve the wider IdeasTap community, whether as participants or audience. These can be existing IdeasTap groups, or newly created ones. You can create groups here.

We also want IdeasTap to be at the heart of how you promote your group’s activity, through blogs, events, forums, and portfolios.

Use our new collaboration tools to make connections and spread your net wide. This isn’t just a numbers game - we believe the connections you make can have a massive impact on your career and creative development.

One group member will be the main applicant, and must be aged between 16-30. They will include details of the group they’re applying on behalf of and name at least ten members of that group, all aged 16-30, detailing the capacity in which they’ll each be involved in the project.

And of course we’ll also want to see an outline of how the project will involve, interest or help other members of the IdeasTap community.

For full details, read the terms and conditions.

  • Hi all,

    After much deliberation we decided to award four projects the fund this time, and to relaunch the remaining eight awards later in the year. All shortlisted projects will be given feedback on the judges decisions and will be encouraged to re-apply to the next round.

    I hope this helps,

  • Hi everyone,

    Congratulations to the announced winners, what wonderful news! Are there indeed 4 winners, and not 12 as stated in the original brief?

  • Congrats to the winners! I'm slightly confused however, as it says in the Brief that there are 12 awards and only 4 winners have been announced?

  • Hi all,

    Gayle- The winners are being decided as we speak and will be contacted by the end of this week.

    Keri and Afsaneh- I'm really sorry for any confusion caused! The copy in the automated e-mail you will've received from us is out of date and was written whilst the old site was still up. Now that we've switched over to the new site it is no longer applicable but unfortunately we forgot to change it! Bit of an error our end I'm afraid. As you may've noticed there isn't a Showcase section on the new site. Also, the winner will be chosen by a panel of judges and not by a public vote.

    I hope this helps,

    Joe

  • IsoProductions are a shortlisted company and we were told that we should get all our supporters to vote for us on a showcase section. Where is this and when will that happen? Many thanks

  • Hi Joe,
    I wondered whether my application form was received in the end? I got an email from Laura and then sent my form directly to her but did not get a response either way whether that had been received or not?
    Thanks!
