Supporting 10 projects with up to 20 participants (maximum 2 per project), this innovative programme advances concepts to pitching level while embedding accessibility at the earliest stage of immersive production. The name honours the historical Crip Camp, reclaiming &#8220;crip&#8221; as a site of creative resistance and community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Open to early-career producers outside formal education (within first 3-5 years) developing immersive projects rooted in VR, XR, spatial audio, or interactive narratives. Projects must be led or predominantly led by D\/deaf, disabled, or neurodivergent creatives\/producers with clear, early-stage concepts. Emphasis on North West England and North Wales-based projects, though UK-wide applications welcome.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Participants receive \u00a31,155 (\u00a3110\/day for 10.5 days: 5 days Liverpool, 11 half-days online), plus travel\/accommodation when visiting FACT. Comprehensive support includes mentorship from Lesley Taker, Myra Appanah (BRiGHTBLACK Co-Director), and FACT Studio\/Lab team; guidance on project development, business strategy, accessibility embedding, audience identification, marketing, and pitch preparation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons is-content-justification-left is-layout-flex wp-container-core-buttons-is-layout-b03bdb05 wp-block-buttons-is-layout-flex\" style=\"padding-top:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10);padding-bottom:var(--wp--preset--spacing--10)\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-button\"><a class=\"wp-block-button__link wp-element-button\" href=\"https:\/\/www.fact.co.uk\/news\/2026\/02\/open-call-digital-crip-camp?utm_source=zealous.co&amp;utm_medium=blog&amp;utm_campaign=featured_opportunity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Apply<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apply by 22nd February 2026 for Digital Crip Camp. 14-week paid programme (\u00a31,155 fee) for D\/deaf, disabled, neurodivergent producers developing accessible immersive projects.
