WHAT IS MEDIABOX?

Mediabox is a fund for youth led media projects.

If your organization has a good idea for a youth media project and feels that it could successfully deliver that project then you should apply to Mediabox.

Mediabox funds media projects that use print, television, film, radio, digital, or online media projects in order to enable young people aged 13-19 to express their ideas and views on issues that matter to them.

Mediabox offers a variety of different grants ranging from £1,000 to £40,000 via the different strands to the Mediabox Fund:

Mini Mediabox is open to grassroots and community youth organisations

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

My Mediabox is open to individual young people via competitions and partner organizations.
