Description
WE'VE GOT THE CASH IF YOU'VE GOT THE IDEAS...
Ideas Fund Innovators is our funding scheme open to all creative disciplines.
If you're aged between 16-25 and have a creative project that could do with a cash injection, this is the fund for you. We’re offering 10 projects £1,000 each to help get them off the ground.
In the past we've funded everything from dance and film projects to music videos and photography collectives. Whatever creative field you work in, we'll consider your application. To make sure your application is the best it can be, read our guide to the five common mistakes people make when applying.
So here’s the boring bit. You MUST read the Ts&Cs in full before you apply and the How to Respond Tab – we get loads of applications we have to make ineligible because people haven’t read the terms. Here are a couple of highlights:
• You must be aged 16 to 25 on the closing date (4 January 2013) and be resident in the UK.
• Your project must take place between February and November 2013.
This brief closes at 5pm on Friday 4 January 2013 and is open to IdeasTap members aged 16 to 25 on the closing date. We will not consider late applications under any circumstances, including technical difficulties, so allow yourself plenty time to get your application uploaded. If you have technical issues, please visit the help centre. We will contact applicants with the results four to eight weeks after the closing date.
