MCM Scholarship helps young people start creative careers

September 4, 2024

This August, ReedPop announced their new MCM Scholarship ahead of the upcoming MCM Comic Con x EGX in October, which aims to help aspiring writers, comic book artists, game developers, voice actors and more, take that first leap into their future creative careers.

Any potential future creatives can apply for this opportunity, with applications closing on September 12th.

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.

At the convention, the winner will have the chance to learn from leaders in their desired creative field through thought-provoking panels, engaging workshops, and networking with like-minded people. The winner will even appear on-stage in a panel with industry experts to discuss their own creative journey through the scholarship.

ReedPop makes supporting future talent a priority, through the MCM Creator Clinic and EGX Career Fair, which allow attendees to get face to face with potential employers and have their portfolios reviewed by seasoned professionals in everything from game development to voice acting.

Applications for the MCM Scholarship are closing soon, so any student or young person with a desire to kick start their career in gaming, comics, literature or acting should apply now. Winners will be chosen based on the strength of their application and the passion displayed for their chosen field.

MCM Comic Con is Europe’s largest geek and pop-culture event, while EGX is the UK’s leading video game convention. MCM Comic Con London and EGX will take place at ExCeL London from October 25th to 27th, marking the first time both events are under one roof.
