Fast Track - Applications now open for 2011 (10/05/2011)
Applications have launched today for Fast Track, the talent scheme for TV hotshots looking to get ahead in television.
If you have 2-4 years experience in ANY area of TV then you're eligible to apply for Fast Track which takes place between 25 - 28 August 2011 alongside the MediaGuardian Edinburgh International Television Festival (MGEITF).
Benefits:
* Exclusive access to, and insight from, the decision makers and most senior people in TV
* FREE delegate pass for MGEITF
* A chance to pitch an idea live at the TV Festival and win a commission from it
* Heavily subsidised training weekends after attending Fast Track
Fast Track is FREE to attend however successful applicants will be expected to pay for their own travel to and from Edinburgh and contribute £50 towards the cost of their accommodation.
Here's what last year's delegates had to say about Fast Track:
"It was a fantastic experience, which has given me the confidence to network, advice in abundance, and a whole load of new friends. I couldn't recommend it enough."
"It has secured my confidence in the area of television that I'm currently in and helped me realise what my strengths are and what most interests me. It's given me a much more solid sense of direction and paved a pathway for me to reach my goals."
"It gave me a renewed sense of ambition about what was achievable. I also made some key contacts, who have offered mentoring advice on how to achieve my goals."
Further information about the scheme can be found here.
Applications are now open and will close at midnight, 12th June 2011.
