ReedPop, the folk behind the MCM Comic Con events, have announced a scholarship scheme, aimed at helping would-be writers, comic book artists, game developers, voice actors get a start in the geek media industry.

Conventions are a fantastic way to meet and talk to people in the industry, and figure out how you want to contribute.

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.

EGX is the UK’s largest video games consumer, trade and careers event. Produced by ReedPop, EGX features the latest games on both PC and console, stage presentations by well-known games designers, and the opportunity to chat with developers on the show floor.

Applications for the MCM Scholarship are open now, and will close on Thursday, September 12th, 2024, follow the link here.
