ACE?s big money Arts Awards youth project will run from April

Culture minister David Lammy has announced that Arts Council England?s £1 million youth Arts Awards scheme will be up and running nationally by next April and will involve thousands of young people by 2008.

Nine regional agencies have been set up to provide training advisors for schools, youth services, arts organisations and local authorities. These advisors will run the project, which enables youngsters between 13 and 25 to gain accreditation for creating their own arts and leadership projects. It is expected to have 10,000 participants over the next three years.
