Propose your idea

Heads up

Good ideas that 4IP can support will have clear goals, meet real-world needs and have the potential to scale in a sustainable way. They can be aimed at any audience and work on any platform, but they must be designed to deliver real change in peoples’ lives. At this point, concentrate on a short description of your idea, not a huge multimedia submission. Think about the basic questions: What is the public service goal? What new media platforms are you taking advantage of? What is the real-world need? How are you changing people’s lives? How does your idea scale up to reach a wider audience? Leave the detailed plans and beautiful visuals for later, when a clear expression of initial interest has been made by someone at 4IP.

Finger on the pulse

A Head of 4IP and a number of regional commissioners in cities across the UK are currently being appointed. Once people are in place, there’ll be a number of open events around the country where we can all meet and talk about how to turn ideas into reality. In the meantime, watch the 4IP blog and subscribe to the RSS feed to keep up to date with related announcements.
