The Secret Story Draw, a campaign full of optimism and opportunity. Committed to placing illustrators and animators from underrepresented ethnicities into paid internships in the children’s media industry and kick starting their career journey.
The campaign ran from Late march to Mid June 2021 and was widely supported by the industry culminating in an awards ceremony that awarded 12 winners from over 160 submissions placements at studios including Aardman, Jellyfish Pictures, DNEG, BlueZoo and many more.
The Secret Story Draw is in association with various industry partners including the DCMS funded Young Audiences Content Fund, which is managed by the BFI and supports the creation of unique and distinctive content for young audiences, BAFTA Kids, The Children’s Media Conference, ScreenSkills and Macmillan Children’s Books.
