Notice re: Animation Development Funding Scheme
Due to the unprecedented level of applications and awards of funding in 2016, Bord Scannán na hÉireann/the Irish Film Board (BSÉ/IFB) wish to notify producers of the revised arrangements for Animation Development Funding for animated television projects. The Animation Development Funding Scheme for animated television projects is now temporarily closed to applications for the remainder of 2016. This does not affect applications for the development of animated feature films which will still be accepted. The Scheme will be re-opened for animation television development applications for the beginning of 2017.
BSÉ/IFB has awarded over €350,000 in development support to animated television projects to date this year (a 19% increase on awards made for the whole of 2015) reflecting BSÉ/IFB’s ongoing commitment to the sector.
