IdeasTap has launched Ideas Fund Shorts, £40,000-worth of funding to help young people realise their short film projects.  Eight awards of £5,000 are being offered to anyone aged between 16-25 to create a five minute short film.

Recognising the lack of funding for young people within the arts, and the endless application forms and hassle to secure what funding there is, IdeasTap created the Ideas Fund to make it easier for young people to get their creative projects off the ground.  Along with the website, www.ideastap.com, IdeasTap is dedicated to providing opportunities for up-and-coming creative talent.

Alongside the launch of Ideas Fund Shorts, IdeasTap is also launching the second round of Ideas Fund Innovators; ten awards of £1,000 for creative ideas from any discipline. The deadline for both funds is 29th March 2010.

Please find attached a press release containing further details about both Ideas Fund Shorts and Innovators, and details on how to apply.

If you would like any further information or images then please do not hesitate to contact me.

Many thanks,
