The Tribeca and Canva Creative Program - a new partnership between Canva and Tribeca - empowers emerging creators across entertainment to showcase and create buzz around their projects via Canva's all-in-one visual communication platform, in-depth training workshops and kickstart awards.
Combining Canva’s communication platform and Tribeca’s expertise in professional and artistic development, the program will consist of both in-person and virtual workshop sessions in the key design areas that entertainment creators need. Canva empowers over 130 million people globally - from all backgrounds and industries - to bring their ideas to life visually. Creating dedicated support for the people driving creativity within entertainment is a natural extension of Canva’s mission to empower anyone to design anything, anywhere.
The Tribeca and Canva Creative Program culminates with an opportunity to enter to win one of five US $20,000 kickstart awards that, along with support from Tribeca Studios, will help them further their development.
The program will launch in June alongside the 2023 Tribeca Festival with an in-person design workshop, followed by two virtual sessions in Summer 2023, hosted by Canva’s own Design Education Specialists.
We are calling on all emerging independent creators - writers, directors, producers - working across traditional film, TV and immersive storytelling to join us in this inaugural year.
Please see The Tribeca and Canva Creative Program Contest Rules & Regulations here.
All workshop attendees will be granted a free 6-month Canva Pro subscription. Creators that attend at least two sessions will be eligible to apply for a kickstart award in September 2023. To apply you must be based in the U.S. and have completed at least one project of any length within your desired discipline (writer, director, producer, etc.). All participants must agree to Canva’s Terms of Use located here.
