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.
We're looking for projects that are inspiring, original, innovative and that we think you can deliver. Read application tips from previous winners and download our PDF about creating a project budget.
So here’s the boring bit. You MUST read the Ts&Cs and How To Respond Tab in full before you apply – 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 (22 June 2012) and be resident in the UK. Your project must take place between July 2012 and March 2013. Technical issues? E-mail info@ideastap.com.
This brief closes at 5pm on Friday 22 June 2012. 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 email info@ideastap.com.
