Have you got an idea for a cartoon, skit, sketch or something weird, wonderful or outrageous? Then Viral Kitchen wants to hear from you.

The Viral Kitchen pilot scheme is a unique programme utilising the facilities, knowledge and experience of Birmingham-based animators 'Second Home Studios' for the development of local animators and animation graduates. The scheme will be free to 4 successful participants and even provide a small bursary towards their costs and expenses.

The end goal is to produce four 30 second short films before October 2010, with original, viral appeal that contribute to the portfolio of everyone involved.For more details or to apply, go to www.viralkitchen.co.uk applications and enquiries should go to kitchen@secondhomestudios.co.uk.
