Call for candidates to register with the bank : January 15 to March 2
Production company nominations: until April 20
To support greater diversity in youth production and creation teams, the YMA, along with its partners Radio-Canada, Télé-Québec, TFO and APTN, are offering four scholarships for four people from diverse or indigenous communities, managed by four companies. A total of $10,000 will be distributed annually.
An application from a French production company must include the candidacy of a person from a diverse or aboriginal background for a project in development or production. The winner will be integrated into the team of a youth program (aged 2-17) in development or production (fiction, documentary or live-action magazine or animation or current affairs for young people).
The company may submit an application including a person it has recruited itself, or through the bank of candidates that the YMA will make available to all interested companies. YMA will not act as an intermediary between the two parties.
The objective is to offer a person a new experience in the world of youth television or digital production, to broaden his or her network of contacts and to participate concretely, based on his or her aptitudes and interests, in the development and production of a program to be broadcast on Radio-Canada, Télé-Québec, TFO or APTN. This training will provide recruits with the skills they need to pursue their careers.
At the end of the project, the winner will be asked to write a brief summary of his or her experience, which can be used as part of a report or an article on the YMA blog.
