Would you like support with the development of your programme and content ideas?

Production Alliances is a new funding initiative which aims to support the development of fresh, new and innovative ideas for programme making and content production that have good commercial potential. Funding is available to collaborations of three or more micro/small businesses and freelancers, two of whom must be based in the South West.

Managed by South West Screen, with funding from the European Social Fund and the South West RDA, grants of up to £8,000 are available for eight companies with the proviso that they supplement this with £2,000 of their own money. We expect the partners to work together using their skills and expertise, facilities and services and to capitalise o­n resources made available to them. Ideas should be developed around the key theme of innovation. For more information and details of how to apply, please see our website.

Deadline for applications is Friday 7 October 2005.
