The following organisations have secured funding for the production of youth led media projects:
  • BBA Media - radio programme production training;
  • Fierce productions - two film projects;
  • Independent Photography - radio and film projects;
  • PhotoVoice - photography and digital media projects;

There are three more funding rounds running until November 2008. The next application deadline is 17 July 2007.
There is also a Mediabox information event on 15 June where there will be the chance to ask questions about the available funds, take part in a speed networking session to help find partners for putting in applications, and to hear about some of the possibilities afforded by interactive media and games for working with young people.
