Macktez Summer Stipend
| by your friend
We know it sucks being underfunded and creative. We were poor and creative once. Then we got funded and stayed creative. So now it's easier for us to realize our great ideas.
If, however, you find yourself in the first category–hunting for money and creative–there's always help out there in the form of grants, loans, and sponsorship. The Macktez Stipend is one such opportunity for funding this summer. Here's a summary of the stipend from an email Macktez sent us:
“The Macktez Summer Stipend is a grant for creative development. Each year we try to reach out to the many junior designers, interns, and other creative individuals we come across every day for whom a little extra cash could be the difference between a great idea and a great, finished project. If you can wow us with your idea, you'll get $500 to make it happen. Apply online at www.macktez.com/stipend by July 20.”
It's an easy application process and you can check out the winning entry from last year on the website: a documentary about the life and times of a phone booth in Williamsburg.
