#NewCreatives applications are now closed

Due to the extremely high number of applications, we are taking a little longer to commission for this round. If you've applied at New Creatives, we'll aim to let you know whether you've been successful or not in the coming weeks. Thank you for bearing with us!

New Creatives is an exciting talent development scheme offering commissioning opportunities for emerging creatives to make new artistic works in film, interactive media and audio, designed for BBC channels and platforms.

If you're based in the Midlands (check which application area you are here), the New Creatives programme will be led by us, Rural Media. We're looking for emerging talent between the ages of 16-30 with strong creative ideas and drive, to develop an original concept into a professional short-film, interactive media work or audio piece. We'll provide training to give you the skills needed to being your idea to life and get it seen by audiences.

It's worth noting, with the ongoing COVID-19 situation, the media industry has been widely affected. With this in mind, we're particularly interested in content that can be made at home, but as a minimum can be produced within safe social distancing and Covid19 Health and Safety measures.

Please note: We are not currently taking applications for Interactive/Immersive digital work. ​
