BBC Blast and BAFTA are running a new TV Craft bursary scheme, encouraging new writing, music and production talent.
As part of Screen-Skills, 8 young people (16–19 year olds) will win a £3000 bursary and 6 months with industry professionals to create their own new piece of TV gold. 4 of the 8 winners will be nominated for a Screen-Skills award and get to walk to red carpet at the BAFTA TV Craft awards 2010. They will also get guidance from a BAFTA award-winning mentor.
The BBC are looking for entries in 4 categories: Scriptwriter, Director of Photography, Editor and (Musical) Composer. To enter, you need to submit a short film (under 5 mins) about ANYTHING you like, showcasing your skill in one of these areas to bbc.co.uk/blast/screenskills. The scheme is now open for applications and closes on 30th September.
