Media Talent Progression Programme

The Media Talent Progression Programme (MTPP) is designed to develop the capabilities of media professionals in producing quality international content, build their track record and hone their ability to compete globally.

MTPP comprises Content Grants for Long-Form and Short-Form projects, and Overseas Development Grant for selected platforms and events.

The Long-Form Content Grants support the production of feature film projects or episodic series that provide quality roles for local media professionals in Singapore, to build up their portfolio and experience.

The Short-Form Content Grant supports the production of short film or short content that provide quality roles for local media professionals in Singapore, to build up their portfolio and experience.

The Overseas Development Grant supports media professionals in Singapore who have been selected for international programmes and platforms that are designed to develop their skills and projects as well as build their international connections and perspectives.

An example of this is Project Labs, which was created to further the development of an individual’s skillsets or projects in areas such as directing, producing, and scriptwriting. The Overseas Development Grant also supports participation at international project development platforms and prestigious awards or competition platforms.

Interested applicants can submit their application enquiries to info@imda.gov.sg or approach an IMDA Industry Officer to discuss their application. Eligible applicants will be issued an invitation via the Online Grant Management System.

Please refer to the Application Guidelines.

• NOTE: Applicants are advised to apply at least three weeks before the event date to allow IMDA reasonable time to process the grant. Should the applicant decide to travel before the application result is announced, please be aware that it would be at the applicant's financial risk as all applications are subject to approval.
