YMA THÉRÈSE-PINHO SCHOLARSHIP
The YMA Thérèse-Pinho Scholarship will honour the memory of kids content producer Thérèse Pinho, who passed away in October 2016. Thérèse had worked for 25 years in kids television at TFO and Pixcom, producing quality content that had a positive impact on the industry and on children’s lives.
The YMA Thérèse-Pinho Scholarship aims to encourage children’s media creators to learn about multiplatform writing through an intensive workshop to be held at Pixcom in Montreal. Each year, the scholarship will give three to five French-speaking scriptwriters, directors or producers currently working in kids media in Canada the chance to work with industry experts for two days (videogames, interactive experience, webseries, AR, VR, podcast, social media content). Workshop fees as well as travel and lodging expenses for participants living outside Montreal will be covered.
