The faculty of Journalism and Media Communications at Griffith College in partnership with The Institute of Advertising Practitioners in Ireland (IAPI) have launched their €10,000 Creative Bursary. This is the bursary's third year.
The bursary is aimed at DEIS (Delivering Equality of opportunity In Schools) schools across Ireland and seeks to promote creative careers to second level students.
The theme for this year is ‘Sustainability’.
To be eligible for the bursary, students have to develop a creative communications campaign that highlights their school’s sustainable initiatives and policies. Students should be as creative as possible with their submission, and are encouraged to use video, audio, graphic design, social media and creative writing.
IAPI member agencies will also provide experiential opportunities in the form of additional training, workshops and on-site events with advertising agencies for the winning students (COVID-19 restrictions permitting).
Schools have until the end of October to submit their entries. Winners will be announced in November, with visits to agencies hopefully taking place in January and February of 2022.
