Mediabox funding

Media Trust opens new Mix Mediabox fund for youth-led projects
Grants on offer for schemes that bring different groups together
Communications charity the Media Trust has opened a new £1.2m fund for charities and community groups to set up youth-led media projects.

The Mix Mediabox will offer grants of between £5,000 and £20,000 to groups setting up projects in which 13 to-19-year-olds explore community cohesion. The total value of the fund is £1,240,000.

A Media Trust spokeswoman said the fund, run in partnership with the Department for Children, Schools and Families and the Communities and Local Government department, was particularly looking to support projects that brought young people from diverse ethnic and economic backgrounds together.

She said the Media Trust was encouraging applications from east and north-east England and Yorkshire and Humberside, which had been underrepresented in previous rounds of funding applications.

The fund is open for applications and the deadline is 21 September.

Charities, trusts and local authorities can apply for grants from the scheme, which is delivered by a consortium led by the trust and First Light Movies in partnership with Skillset and the UK Film Council.

Film Competition

Advance news of a forthcoming film competition for young people run by Eccelsiastical:

"Ecclesiastical are inviting people to make a two-minute film about the true meaning of Christmas. Films can be shot on a camcorder, laptop or mobile phone and uploaded to a specially created website.
Entrants have the chance to win £3,000 for their church, along with other great prizes, at an exclusive finalists event.

All films will need to be endorsed from either a church leader or a youth group leader which, as a result, they hope will draw new faces into the Church.
This is a fantastic way to raise the Church’s message, support the valuable work already taking place in the community, and reinforce the core spiritual values of Christmas."

More soon on that one
