There is £40,000 of funding available in total which will be granted to one or more ideas based upon application by completing the form below. We are looking for applications that will enable projects to be:

- Further developed into a clear roadmap for delivery.
The judges will be looking to score any proposals on the following criteria:

- Roadmap. The team has a clear set of activities and milestones for delivery or a plan for how to create this.
- Sponsorship. The team have the necessary commitment, time and permission to make the idea come to life, including the funding for phases not covered by the seed finance.
