The
British Council Realise Your Dream programme awards excellence in
the arts and creative industries and offers talented Australians
the chance to further their career in the UK. Now in its seventh
year, Realise Your Dream provides financial and
professional support to help candidates make lasting connections
and expand their horizons in one of the world's most vibrant
cultural settings.
Five
Awards will be offered in 2009 to candidates in the early stages
of their career. They will be flown to the UK and receive an $8,000
NAB Cash Passport to assist with expenses. Most importantly, the
British Council taps its network of the UK's finest creatives
to help craft a tailored professional development programme and
to open the doors the winners need most to further their career.
We're
looking for applicants who show innovation and leadership in their
field, can demonstrate their creative potential and have a clear
vision for why they'll benefit from connecting with Britain's
best. Realise Your Dream is open to emerging practitioners working
or studying in creative industries including visual arts, design,
architecture, music, digital media and performing arts.
Entries close 5pm Friday 3 July 2009.
this is a great competition, but it seems as though it's given to people who have already been given a chance to shine (people already working in the industry). what about those people with so much potential but are struggling to even have someone look at their work in such a narrow minded Australia. How far can an aspiring, 19yo festival and concert stage designer go in Australia?
What up, if you don't have a copy of my E.P. you can get it from This Is It, Wax Museum, Obese (VIC) or www. soulclaprecords. com (INTERSTATE/OVERSEAS)
