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.

"ToonDoo is a cool, comic-creating tool from Jambav, a fun site for kids.

ToonDoo was the happy result of brainstorming session that was aimed at creating a new way of expression for those who do not have the talent to draw.

www.storygas.com now moved to http://storygas.blogspot.com

Long story, but www.storygas.com domain got hijacked... Fixed the broken links to webseries on here (so hopefully everything now points to http://storygas.blogspot.com), but think I've lost all the links out there on the internet.

Here's what I think the lesson is - the community around your site is probably even more important than your site address. Pretty much anything can be found these days - the question is, does anyone want to find your stuff? If there's a community around it, the answer is more likely to be yes...


Anyway, working through your kind messages and suggestions for web shows you'd like me to link to, and hopefully I'll get them on here asap.

The great thing with leaving a comment is that the world is free to check out your link before I get round to it, so if you've got a webseries you'd like to plug or get more viewers, leave a comment by clicking on COMMENTS BELOW.

And if you'd like to get these posts free, direct, and automatically, you can sign up to the google feed by clicking here.

THANKS!
