The programme is open to professionals working behind the scenes in cinema exhibition,
television and film, with recent examples of support including writing and production
development, financial assistance for postgraduate studies, and costs associated
with studio space and equipment for craft professionals.

 

January’s recipients included London-based producer Joy Gharoro-Akpojotor, writer-
director and acting graduate of Bristol Old Vic Theatre School Dean Loxton, and 
writer/director Billy Lumby.

 

D’Arcy Myers, chief executive of The CTBF commented:

 

> “The JBAs are our flagship talent development programme, and as of 2017 in response
> to the increasing number and quality of applications, we began to offer the fund
> twice per year. The 11 recipients are each remarkable examples of what our film
> and television industries have to offer – talent, artistry, and dedication that
> will hopefully have the opportunity to grow with The CTBF’s support.”

 

The next deadline for the JBAs is 31^(st) July 2017. Information on [how to apply](http://jbawards.org.uk/apply/how-to-apply/)
