Exciting News! ‘Arts charity team up with Autism Ambassador in a new competition’ – great opportunity to win a £500 camera!

UK arts charity MMBF Trust has teamed up with Anna Kennedy OBE to provide opportunities for young people on the autistic spectrum.

The scheme set to be called the MMBF Anna Kennedy Award, will launch on the 1st of August and run until the 1st of October 2017 and will present a wonderful chance for an aspiring filmmaker within the autism community to win a DSLR film camera with a runner up set to receive a 1-2-1 filmmaking day course and mentoring from the Trust.

Megan Turner, chair of MMBF Trust told us 'This scheme presents a wonderful opportunity to support minority groups that are very talented but greatly underrepresented within the current film industry.

She added 'schemes such as Autism's Got Talent have shown us how much impact support and opportunities are needed within the autism community'.

Anna Kennedy OBE added “I am so excited to be working with MMBF Trust and together and thankful we have created a wonderful opportunity for a young autistic individual.”

You can apply for the scheme from the 1st August here:
