UnLtd 4iP Awards

4iP is an innovation fund, created by Channel 4, to stimulate public service digital media across the UK. It supports great ideas for websites, games and mobile services which help people improve their lives.

UnLtd and 4iP have teamed up to help individuals develop early stage digital media ideas and prototypes. Together they will build the skills, capabilities and partnerships to turn prototypes into social businesses.

What is the funding for?

4iP will share its expertise in digital media and UnLtd will provide dedicated support including training opportunities, mentoring and access to resources to help individuals develop their skills and their projects.

The programme will operate across the whole of the UK including England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland

There are two themes that 4iP is particularly passionate about; ideally projects will also meet one of these:

1. Holding money and power to account
Using the web and mobile to keep an eye on how government, organisations and elected representatives use their power.

2. MOT your life
Exploring how digital tools, games, applications and services can help people change their lives for the better whether that’s their health, wellbeing, finances, work/life balance or dealing with unemploymen

How much money is available?
The UnLtd 4iP scheme will be giving awards of up to £5,000 to help individuals from across the UK to turn their digital media project into a reality.
