MAKE IT 2011 Enter Now
Make it happen in music and media project!
Are you in a band that needs a music video - or would you like to work on or be in a music video? Now's your chance - in the fifth year of the cutting edge MAKE IT! music/media project.
MAKE IT! is looking for two local bands, or singer-songwriters, and a dozen young people aged 14-19 from Rhondda Cynon Taf who have an interest in or a flair for media, to take part in the 2011 Music Video Project.
Those selected will experience first-hand what it takes to work in the music and media industries.
Bands, singers and media participants entering must have a current original song recording in either English or Welsh, and must be available to attend evening and Saturday morning media workshops during January and February 2011 (one per week) as well as be available for the whole of February half- term to film the videos.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Council's Youth Arts Project (part of RCT Cultural Services) are working with MAKE IT! on the project, which is funded through the 14-19 Learning Pathways Fund and Fframwaith.
Those chosen to be part in the 2011 MAKE IT! project will have their videos screened at a special showcase gig.
Previous winners of MAKE IT! Include Pontypridd rock band Ladies Love A Superhero, and Rhondda band sweet Manics.
Rhondda Cynon Taf Cabinet Member for Culture and Recreation, Councillor Robert Bevan, said: “MAKE IT provides a fantastic platform for young people who want to progress in the fields of music and media. Our Youth Arts team are looking forward to working with more talented young people again next year.”
