Living Amy: 10 x £1500 Commissions
Deadline: Thu 18 Feb 2016
Writers, animators, film makers, bloggers and podcasters are now invited to submit their ideas for new, creative narratives that will bring Amy Johnson to life for the young people of today

We are looking for fresh, short and accessible re-telling of scenes or key moments, and are open to narratives focusing on any aspect of Amy’s remarkable story. There is a rich seam to tap into here, ranging from her rebellious school days, her teenage love affair, her record breaking flight to Australia packed with incidents, to her tragic and untimely death off the North Kent coast.

Amy’s stories can be told in any number of ways, and the festival is delighted to be working in association with Hull Libraries on this suite of 10 innovative Living Amy commissions that give us an excellent and varied media gateway into Amy’s inspirational life. Our target audience is teenagers whom we aim to enthrall and inspire with Amy’s life story, whilst introducing them to the expanding range of services that our libraries have to offer.

We have used the term ‘story’ broadly: you are welcome to propose any means of telling your narrative of Amy, from traditional to new media.
