Pitch for Wellcome Trust Development Funding

The Wellcome Trust Development Awards Pitch is confirmed to return to Sheffield Doc/Fest for a sixth year.

Applicants are invited to apply for the chance to pitch a broadcast, gaming or film idea to a judging panel. The ideas need to engage the audience with contemporary or historical biomedical science, in an innovative and accessible way.

Awards of up to £10,000 are available and may be given to more than one project. The prize will enable the pitched ideas to be developed into high impact, well-researched proposals to help secure a UK distribution platform and production funding.

The pitch and the announcement of the awards will take place on Friday 14th June as part of the Science at Sheffield strand.
