Digital Derry are pleased to announce that we will be providing 2 x bursaries (of up to £1250 each) for individuals seeking to attend to SxSW in March.
SxSW is one of the world’s largest digital media events and is packed full with talks, exhibitions and networking opportunities. Derry is already sending 10+ delegates (supported by InvestNI) as part of a Northern Ireland contingent of some 30+ companies and individuals.
Funded by ILEX, we are able to support two additional delegates who are not currently traveling to SxSW and/or not eligible for INI support (eg. a student or 2nd person from a company which is already planning to go). Digital Derry will pay for your flights and festival pass (to a maximum of £1250) meaning you just need to arrange your accommodation and spending money for the week.
NB: You must demonstrate that you have organised your accommodation at SxSW before we will purchase festival passes or flights and this should be done by Feb 10th.
If you would like to apply here’s what you need to send us (in a Word doc or PDF by email):
- A 200 word summary of you and/or your business
- Links to your works or website
- Up to 500 words about why you want to go to SxSWi and what you hope to get from it
- Your full contact details
Deadline for applications is Friday, February 3rd. If we receive more than 2 applications then the two successful applicants will be chosen by a panel.
