New funding mechanism for public interest programming in Ireland

The BCI has launched its Sound and Vision grant scheme, after getting clearance for the EU under state-aid rules:

All genres of programmes dealing with Irish culture, heritage and experience and adult literacy are eligible to apply for funding under the current scheme, including drama, factual and children’s programmes. Funding will be provided in the form of a grant of up to 95% for production costs.

The deadline is 16th December at noon.
