Each selected company will receive a £50,000 R&D production budget to build a 3-10 minute archive-based VR experience in collaboration with one of the academic researchers. There will be an additional £15,000 award for developing emerging talent in your business, this includes hiring and mentoring diverse creatives from a national pool curated by StoryFutures.
