Cities Of Learning London Boroughs Competition

In every London borough, there are gaps in employability, life skills and learning opportunities. This is especially true in the creative and cultural industries and among any given local community, talent and potential often goes unnoticed.

The London Boroughs Competition (LBC) intends to change that. LBC want to hear about existing projects or exciting new proposals to develop skills in the creative and cultural industries. The competition is open to all education, skills, industry and creative partnerships across the capital and applications can be sent up until 12th March 2020.

ELIGIBILITY:

1. The Competition is open to all education, skills, industry and creative partnerships in London boroughs.
2. LBC is open to applications from existing partnerships, or from new partnerships which may emerge through the application process. LBC is also open to accepting cross-borough applications and offering flexibility around the geographic reach of proposals.
3. Although applications should demonstrate a partnership approach, there does need to be a ‘main applicant’ for your proposal. Please also note that if you are entering as a partnership, the main applicant needs to be either a charitable organisation or a public body that is eligible to receive public funds, as LBC cannot give grants to businesses.
