The British Council Realise Your Dream Awards celebrate excellence in the arts and creative industries, offering talented Australians the chance to further their careers in the UK. Now in its eight year, Realise Your Dream provides financial and professional support to help the winners make lasting connections and expand their horizons in one of the world’s most vibrant cultural settings.
Five Awards will be offered in 2010 to candidates in the early stages of their careers. They will each be flown to the UK and given an $8000 NAB Cash Passport to assist with expenses. Most importantly, the British Council taps its network of the UK’s finest creatives to help craft a tailored professional development programme for each of the five winners.
We’re looking for applicants who show innovation and leadership in their field, can demonstrate their creative potential and have a clear vision of how they’ll benefit from connecting with the UK’s best. Realise Your Dream is open to emerging practitioners working or studying in creative industries including visual arts, design, architecture, music, digital media and performing arts.

There are five Realise Your Dream Awards up for grabs in 2010.
Winners will receive:
• $8000 cash as a NAB Cash Passport to assist with expenses in the UK
• A return Virgin Atlantic economy flight to the UK
• A face-to-face or phone consultation with the British Council in Sydney to help plan a tailored professional development programme
• Support from the British Council to implement an agreed programme in the UK that matches the Winner’s career aspirations and level of experience
British Council Australia will work with you to design the programme for your visit to the UK based on the information you provide during the application process. Using our contacts in the creative industries we will match your aspirations to career development opportunities as best as possible, and assist in creating an itinerary that might include securing an internship, professional industry placements or recommending events and courses of study.
We do expect you will have already conducted some research on, or made approaches to, individuals and organisations in the UK with whom you wish to connect. While the British Council will try to match your preferences, no guarantees can be made that you will be able to connect with specific people or companies. |
