I'm in, how do I apply?

Right here. To apply we just need you to create something in response to 3 prompts. Your responses can be in any format – words, film, sketches, audio, photography... whatever feels right.

We just want to see how your brain works, so we'll be judging based on the brightness of your ideas – not how perfect your execution is.

What makes you happy and why?

We're at our most productive, when we're feeling contented and confident. So, what makes you feel good? It could be an image that brings you joy, a TikTok about a favourite topic, or a written piece about a subject that makes you smile.

What do you do when you get stuck?

It happens to everyone. But when it does... do you pop on a podcast, leaf through a book, lose yourself in TedTalks, chat it through with a friend, write down a plan? We want to know!

What does bravery mean to you?

Bravery comes in all shapes and sizes, we're interested in what your style of bravery looks like. What's the word that pops into your mind? Or soundtrack? Animation? Poem? Recipe? When you hear the word, what does that mean to you?
