The Pat Llewellyn Bursary fund is for the next compelling talent led documentary. Do you think you’ve discovered the next Stacey Dooley, Yinka Bokinni or Louis Theroux? Pitch us a winning proposal and not only will we give you £10,000, we’ll also match you with a mentor to help you make your idea happen.
To apply, we ask for 250 words to sell us your idea which should be suitable for commission by a UK broadcaster.
The 2022 Fund will give four successful applicants £10,000 each to develop their TV proposal. To celebrate Pat Llewellyn’s Welsh roots, and to encourage other women from Wales to follow in her creative footsteps, two places this year will be held specifically for any woman either born in or living in Wales, or with a Welsh parent.
The Fund is a collaboration between WFTV, the BBC, ITV, Channel 4, All3Media and The Welsh Government.
