The 2008 Quebecor Banff Convergence Fellowship will bring six industry professionals to nextMEDIA - The Future of Digital Content (nextMEDIA - FDC) and the Banff World Television Festival (BANFF) to support their role in creating culturally diverse cross-platform content.

All candidates must be Toronto-based intermediate or senior level industry professionals from Aboriginal or visible minority communities, with market-ready TV and interactive projects. The selection committee will also consider giving one of the Fellowships to an eligible industry administrator or manager who has demonstrated leadership through industry activities, volunteer work, and commitment to advancing diversity.

The Quebecor Fellows will have their nextMEDIA - FDC and BANFF registrations, accommodation, air and ground travel expenses covered, and will have access to industry mentors.
