The winners of a year of creative mentoring and £1000 are Venus who dropped by the Ideas Space to meet the Boundless team During the Boundless Ideas Space in London we started a search for early career creatives to support through creative mentoring and a cash bursary. We were so inspired by all of the entries to the #ISeeYouLookingAtMe call out on our Instagram channel and the responses to the themes of our upcoming production Flies by Charlie Josephine.
We asked you to respond by sharing a video or imagery that reflected your experiences of growing up in the UK as a 15-25 year old female identifying creative. The entries were amazing and we’re going to start sharing them on our socials over the next week.
First things first though, the winners!
Creative Prize Fund First Prize
The creative prize fund and mentoring first prize award of £1000 bursary and mentoring from the Boundless artistic team goes to Venus @venusassociation who really impressed us with their filmmaking, the power behind the message and the collaboration between Anna, Leila Ariana, Jasmine and Dee.
