About the award

This is the second year of the International Young Screen Entrepreneur (IYSE) programme - the global search for the brightest and best international young screen entrepreneur. The British Council will bring ten outstanding young people from the international screen industries together in the UK to celebrate their creativity and enterprise for new screen initiatives in their own country and to network with people from the UK business.

There’s a whole world of film, documentary, video, television and animation out there, and the IYSE award champions the importance of young creative entrepreneurs (aged 25 to 35) in the the screen industries in emerging (and often untapped) markets. Awards for creative talent are common but what sets this prize apart is that is recognises the importance of entrepreneurs in keeping the screen industries alive and thriving, promoting the best of what’s hot on the local scene.

Ten diverse countries will be taking part in the 2008 award: China, India, Indonesia, Lithuania, Nigeria, Philippines, Poland, Saudi Arabia, Slovenia and Thailand. The British Council offices in the ten participating countries are currently working with local partners to each identify a national finalist.

Judged by a panel of leading UK screen entrepreneurs one overall winner will be chosen, and will receive a financial prize to be spent on a project with the British Council.

This is a cross departmental collaboration between the British Council’s Creative Economy Unit (CEU) and its Film department (FILM).
