Samsung’s Launching People campaign
Launching People is giving the opportunity of a lifetime to anyone with a passion for the arts.
Samsung has announced details of its Launching People campaign, a scheme that looks to give a platform to young, emerging talent, through the assistance of celebrities like Rankin, Paloma Faith and Idris Elba [pictured].
Elba and his pals will act as mentors for the scheme which will give the chosen candidates an opportunity to get their barnstorming ideas off the ground and work with one of the four mentors on a collaborative project.
The journey towards your final project will also be documented as part of a TV series to air in 2014, giving you and your great ideas even more exposure.
Award-winning actor and producer Elba said: “I’m looking for someone that wants to tell a story and inspire others. They might have an idea that they’re not quite sure how to take to the next level.
“If I represent anything, it’s someone who dreamed big and achieved those dreams. If anyone out there has a similar aspiration, then I want to hear from them.”
If you want to get your project off the ground, you’ll need to make a two minute video pitch detailing your idea and upload it to www.LaunchingPeople.co.uk by 6 March. Good luck!
