How to become a participant in the Belarusian Content Lab?

The competition jury, consisting of Belarusian and international media professionals, will vote and select five projects to participate in the program and receive funding.

When selecting projects, the jury will evaluate criteria such as:

• Originality of the concept and social significance.
• Feasibility – the ability of the author or team to successfully implement the project within the specified timeframe.
• Participants’ experience.
• Project alignment with the program’s main themes.
• Cultural significance – whether the project resonates with or holds value for the Belarusian audience.

Competition winners will receive six months of mentorship and direct financial support, which can partially or fully cover the costs of project implementation.

The funding will will depend on the type and format of the project – experts will assess the needs of each participant, develop development plans, and determine the project’s key milestones.

The final event will take place in September 2024, where lab participants will present their projects.
