This is the brief for members aged 16 to 22. Click here to visit the brief for those aged 23 to 30.

We’re offering 20 awards of £500 to creative individuals and groups.

Ideas Fund Innovators is our funding scheme open to all creative disciplines. We’ve got 20 lots of £500 to give away – 10 for 16 to 22-year-olds, and 10 for 23 to 30-year-olds.

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 – take a look at some previous winners.

We're looking for projects that are inspiring, original, innovative and that we think you can realistically deliver. We'll be inviting a panel of expert judges to pick their favourites.

If you're thinking of applying to this brief, why not join the Ideas Fund group where you can talk to other applicants, ask questions, discuss your ideas, and be the first to find out about future rounds of funding?

Okay, so here’s the boring bit. It's really important that you read the terms and conditions before applying. In the last round several projects made themselves ineligible due to simple mistakes. Download the terms and conditions here. 

This brief closes on Wednesday 28 May 2014 at 5pm and is open to IdeasTap members aged 16 to 22. If you have any technical queries, please visit the Help Centre. Late entries will not be accepted under any circumstances, including technical issues – so make sure you don’t leave your application to the last minute.
