Thousands up for grabs as youth media funding made available

Thursday, 03 April 2008

Northwest Vision and Media (NVM) has been appointed as the regional partner for Mediabox, which aims to distribute funding to youth groups that have ambitions to create media projects. Last year Mediabox gave out £600,000 in grants and this year The Department for Children, Schools and Families has invested £2 million in the initiative, making even more funding available. For the 2008/09 window NVM has been selected to co-ordinate the region’s applicants for the funds and the body is aiming to get as much of the available monies into the North west as possible. Those interested in applying will have to act quickly, as the organisation is holding two open events next week to explain the fund and the applications process. full article
