[Public-engagement] URGENT - PUBLIC ENGAGEMENT OPPORTUNITY - Festival UK 2022

[Stephen Meek]

Dear all – with apologies for the short notice (we have only just been alerted to the opportunity), please see below information about a major call for “jaw-dropping public engagement acts on a global scale” for the “Festival UK 2022”.  These are funded opportunities, and there is a lot of cash available (£100k for 30 ideas selected for development, more for the 10 selected for production).

The timescale, however, is eye-watering.  There is a live Q and A on the morning of the 29th, and bids need to be in by 16 October.   More details can be found on the website here https://www.festival2022.uk/

The website and the email below is all the information I have so PLEASE DO NOT REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE WITH QUESTIONS as I won’t be able to answer them!

However if you are interested in pulling together a bid please let Maria and I know.

Sorry again for the short notice.

Stephen
