The John Brabourne Awards are a stepping stone for new talent driven to further their experiences and careers in all aspects of film and television. The awards also seek to help those disadvantaged in some way, either through lack of funds or set-backs due to illness or accident.
There are two types of award, the CTBF Awards and the Sponsored Awards.
• The CTBF Awards provide cash sums of between £1,000 and £5,000 to assist with training, rental of equipment, or the costs of travel, rent, bills or childcare.
• The Sponsored Awards offer new talent direct access to essential industry experience, through paid work experience at leading companies and/or access to training, equipment or materials, and in some cases a mentor.
Applications for the CTBF Cash Awards are invited until July 31st 2009. Sponsored Awards deadlines vary
