WAKE UP CALL AS DREAM TIME DEADLINE LOOMS

12/09/2003

Dream Time supports exceptional achievers (with at least 10 years experience in their field) who want time to experiment or follow a passion - but who intend to continue with their career and put what they have discovered to good use.

Up to 12 exceptional individuals will each receive up to £40,000 to pursue their goals and push at the boundaries of knowledge and practice.

NESTA is looking for people who can demonstrate evidence of exceptional achievement. This would include a significant body of work collated over at least a decade in their field, the ability to work in new ways and a commitment to the proposed area of exploration.

Dream Time is a development of NESTA's existing Fellowship Programme, which has helped talented and creative individuals to innovate and explore new ideas emerging through periods of personal development.

As with all its awards, NESTA is looking for people who demonstrate excellence, promise, creativity, innovation and commitment.

Funding can be used on a full or part-time basis, in tandem with professional careers or temporarily away from the constraints of employment. Offered awards can be for any period of time up to one year.

Dream Time Fellows will be asked to provide 10% in kind support for their plan and will be required to plan ways of disseminating their findings with their professional community.

To apply, visit NESTA's website, www.nesta.org.uk/dreamtime.
