media schemes for young people 

Mediabox
Screen East is pleased to be a partner for Mediabox.

Mediabox is a multi-media fund that offers disadvantaged 13-19 year olds (up to 25 if they have a disability) the opportunity to create media projects and enable young people to gain new skills, express themselves and get their voices heard.

Grants ranging from £500 to £40,000 are on offer for the creation and distribution of youth-led media projects that explore a range of mediums, from photography, film and design to print, radio and computer games.

Mini Mediabox - open to grassroots and community youth organisations

Mid Mediabox, Big Mediabox and Mix Mediabox - open to established youth and/or media focused organisations

My Mediabox - open to individual young people via competitions and partner organisations (smaller grants of £500 to individual young people)
