Funding available for creative young people

The National Youth Theatre’s online partner, IdeasTap has another fantastic funding opportunity for young people in the arts – Ideas Fund.

IdeasTap is a new and innovative free service for young people, offering many opportunities to get involved on exciting creative projects, as well as sign-posting useful progression routes and information. IdeasTap now also hosts all of the National Youth Theatre opportunities and activities for young people, alongside other prestigious partners such as the Old Vic, Polka Theatre, L’Ouverture and YCTV.

The Ideas Fund is IdeasTap’s very own funding scheme, aimed at helping 16-25-year-olds realise their creative ideas, with £150,000 to give away each year.

The Ideas Fund offers more than just financial support, with mentoring, marketing and production advice to make sure the project has the best possible chance of succeeding.

Funding applications can be up to £20,000 and begin at £1,000, with the current Fund split into two prizes, Edinburgh and Innovators.

The Autumn Ideas Fund is now live on IdeasTap with applications closing on 11 November 2009.

Young people can apply directly to this fund through IdeasTap for grants of between £1000 and £20,000 for their own creative projects.
