The Guinness company in Ireland has revised its funding criteria for its 2013 funding
round.

Previously known as the **Arthur Guinness Fund**, which provided funding for social
enterprise initiatives, the 2013 grants will support individuals who have ‘innovative,
inspiring and brilliant ideas.’ **Arthur Guinness Projects**, as it is now known,
will support projects in the areas of arts, music, sport and food.

Each winning category will be awarded €50,000 as well as advice and mentoring to
help the project gets off the ground. The public will play a part in short listing
projects through Facebook, Twitter, and Linkedin.

[Applications can be submitted online](http://www.arthurguinnessprojects.com) up
to **9 August 2013**. The public will vote for their favourite ideas until 23 August
after which 10% of projects will be submitted to a panel. The panel, which is comprised
of 16 individuals, can also select up to four wildcards for consideration.
