The Ontario Media Development Corporation and The Banff Centre are pleased to announce the creation of a new bursary available in 2003 to two new media producers. A bursary of up to $1,500 each is available to assist two Ontario interactive digital media producers to attend the prestigious Interactive Screen 0.3 program from July 15-20, 2003, offered by the Banff New Media Institute at The Banff Centre.

The Bursary will cover eligible costs such as registration, tuition, travel and accommodation associated with attending Interactive Screen 0.3 from July 15-20, 2003. Bursaries are available to two Ontario residents who have applied to and been accepted by The Banff Centre to participate in the program.
