The TV Foundation
In 2019 the TV Festival launched the TV Foundation - a new brand for its 30 years of charitable work.
Alongside our much-coveted existing schemes, The Network and Ones to Watch which have helped over 4000 individuals, the Foundation also supports our new scheme TV PhD, our annual New Voice Awards, and our annual specialist factual / academic event AHTV. It also supports our partnerships with industry initiatives and year-round events on topics from bullying to mental health.
We remain committed to tackling the big issues, as well as reaching those who don’t believe a TV career is possible for them.
In 2020 The TV Foundation has made the Festival free for freelancers, given a platform to the BAME Task Force and has partnered on Time For Action to help rebuild the industry post-Covid to be a fairer sector for the freelance community.
FOLLOW USThe Network is our free entry level scheme which gives people their first taste of the television industry through masterclasses and practical workshops at Edinburgh, covering everything from pitching new formats to commissioners to scripting an episode of Casualty. Entrants are selected, assessed, mentored and trained by top producers and supported year-round with Network at Work placements with broadcasters and indies.
Ones to Watch is the Festival’s senior talent scheme for people with more than three years of professional TV experience, looking to take the next big step in their career. The 30 individuals are assessed by TV professionals and benefit from a full delegate pass and accommodation for the TV Festival, a challenging and unique series of exclusive OTW workshops and masterclasses, year-round events and mentoring.
