To celebrate the launch of Crowdfunder's iMayflower campaign which aims to offer funding support to great ideas in Plymouth, the website, Crowdfunder, along with Creative England, Destination Plymouth, Plymouth City Council, Plymouth College of Art, Real Ideas Organisation and Plymouth University is running a competition to award five creative digital projects in the Plymouth area £1,000 towards a crowdfunding campaign.
From immersive technology to augmented reality, if you’ve got a great idea for a new product, service or experience that you’re looking to take to the next level, Crowdfunder wants to hear from you and help make it happen. As the internet generation knows, crowdfunding is about much more than money. It gives people a digital platform to validate creative ideas, raise awareness of new projects, and build lasting relationships with supporters, as well as being an innovative way to fund your start-up and grow your business.
Dawn Bebe, Founder and Communications Director at Crowdfunder, said: “We want to hear from anyone in Plymouth with an innovative idea that will have a positive impact in the City. Crowdfunder is all about supporting creative ideas that tackle society’s challenges - and we want to support the best creative digital ideas in Plymouth with extra-funding and coaching advice.”
Not only will the five winners receive £1,000 extra funding from Crowdfunder, but they will also have access to the company’s expert coaches, who are on hand, ready to share their crowdfunding expertise and know-how to help bring the five winning projects’ ideas to life.
To be in with a chance of winning one of the £1,000 extra funding pledges, head to www.crowdfunder.co.uk/programmes/plymouth-creative-economy and tell us about your creative digital idea in no more than 100 words. The competition opens for entries on Monday 27th January at 9:00 am with entries closing on Monday 3rd February at midday. The winners will be announced on Friday 7th February.
This activity is part of the iMayflower project and has been supported by The Department for Digital, Culture, Media and Sport, who fund the Cultural Development Fund, which is administered by Arts Council England.
