Friday, 30 August, London: ReedPop is proud to announce their new MCM Scholarship ahead of the upcoming MCM Comic Con x EGX in October, which aims to help aspiring writers, comic book artists, game developers, voice actors and more, take that first leap into their future creative careers.
The winner of the MCM Scholarship will be granted free entry for all three days of MCM Comic Con x EGX, a three night stay at a hotel near ExCeL London and a cash prize of £500. The winner will also receive a bespoke itinerary based on their career goals, but will also be free to explore the show as they please.
MCM Comic Con x EGX is the perfect place for young creatives to launch their careers, as the show will be packed full of leaders in creative fields and opportunities to learn from, and connect with them. MCM Comic Con x EGX makes supporting future talent a priority, through the MCM Creator Clinic and EGX Career Fair, which allow attendees to get face to face with potential employers and have their portfolios reviewed by seasoned professionals in everything from game development to voice acting.
At the convention, the winner will have the opportunity to learn from industry experts on fascinating panels, hone their creative skills in how-to workshops, network with other like minded people and professionals, and will even appear on-stage in a panel to discuss their own creative journey through the scholarship.
Applications for the MCM Scholarship are open now, and will close on Wednesday, September 12, 2024. Any student or young person with a desire to kick start their career in gaming, comics, literature or acting can apply - and winners will be chosen based on the strength of their application and the passion displayed for their chosen field.
In order to have a shot at winning the MCM Scholarship, applicants are encouraged to describe their current involvement in their creative field, list their long-term career goals, explain how winning the MCM Scholarship will help them achieve those goals, and share any relevant portfolio work.
MCM Comic Con is Europe’s largest geek and pop-culture event, while EGX is the UK’s leading video game convention. MCM Comic Con London and EGX will take place at ExCeL London from Friday 25 to Sunday 27 October, marking the first time both events are under one roof.
