If you need assistance completing The Pixel Lab 2014 application form, or would like to discuss your project and its potential for The Pixel Lab 2014 please, in the first instance, contact Peter Urpeth, Emergents’ Director (Writing & Publishing), for an informal discussion and to schedule a telephone or video link with one of the Power to the Pixel team as appropriate.
Application for an Emergents Pixel Lab 2014 bursary can be made once an offer of a place on The Pixel Lab 2014 has been made by Power to the Pixel. Our criteria are straightforward - if you are a writer living in the Highlands and islands of Scotland and you are offered a place as a successful applicant to The Pixel Lab 2014 you can apply for an Emergents’ bursary. If more than two applications are received Emergents’ bursaries will be awarded to the projects which in our assessment have the greater commercial potential. Unsuccessful bursary applications will be offered advice on alternative funding options.
The Pixel Lab 2014 gives successful applicants one week to accept their offer of a place and Emergents will confirm the offer of a bursary within that time frame.
Bursary Application forms will be available directly from Emergents - e-mail: [email protected]
Emergents The Pixel Lab Bursaries are made available through the financial assistance of HIE.
Please note: Emergents decisions on the awarding of bursaries are final and application for a bursary confirms the applicant’s acceptance of Emergents’ decisions and decision making process.
