Finally Ireland is in a recession,
That celtic tiger is on his last legs
But fear not my fellow worriors
For we now have kung fu panda

@Cornelius: There’s a maximum age limit of 30, but no minimum limit - please consult the entry criteria.
However you’ll need a sufficient body of quality work for the judges to consider: please see my previous comment on this issue. Hope this helps.

@Cris Jarvis:
Hi Cris, yes we would like a CV as part of the application. We appreciate that a career history may seem more relevant to e.g. a filmmaker but as a DJ / producer you can still include your experience to date - gigs you’ve played, songs / albums you’ve produced etc.
Hope this helps,
Helen

Hi ! I am a mature student and have just graduated at age 34 from Graphic design and digital media - I see that you have an age limit for applicants - I find this quite ageist!!!!!!!! I am a graduate of design surely I can still apply!!!!
Thanks
Nicola

@Nicola ni Dubhtaigh: Thanks for your comments. A few people have raised this issue: please see my earlier response for more detail.
An age limit is the easiest way to put a cap on applicants’ level of experience in a given industry, and thus help us to define ‘new’ talent. We’ll re-consider the entry requirements for 2009 in light of the comments we’ve received, but I’m afraid we’re unable to change them at this stage.
All the best
Nick

Do entrants need to be British citizens? I am living in the UK and hope to move here permanently, but currently I am not a permanent resident. Can I enter?
Thanks,
Kimberley

Thank you for the quick reply. Yes. I saw that. I do have an address here as I have been living here for more than a year. But I was just wondering if it is enough that I live here or is reserved for citizens or permanent residents.
Thanks again. Sorry if I am over-thinking…
