YouTube NextUp scheme to back UK digital talent #webseries

YouTube is to invest €500,000 (£441,000) in a scheme to support UK digital talent.

The YouTube NextUp fund will allow up to 25 people to win a €20,000 grant to develop their content on the video-sharing website, as well as a place at a "creator camp" that will give training in production techniques.

To apply, creators must be YouTube partners – content producers who earn revenue through their accounts. YouTube said they could include singers, dancers, actors, producers, musicians or makeup artists who create their own video content.

This was via Guardian

But... in all the news articles about this launch, am I being dim?

I can't find the official link to sign up or find out more...

The only youtube nextup links I've found are for the program in the states?

Anyway, here's what it seems to be about.

A couple of questions - have you heard of our webseries "Unlocked", ( www.unlockedtheseries.com or viewable at www.youtube.com/cheesemintproduction )?

Secondly, I'm writing a feature for Web Series Network magazine about the state of webseries in the UK, would you be interested in commenting?
