Organised and funded by Mozilla, the Mozilla Creative Media Grants support art and artists raising awareness about surveillance, tracking, and hacking.
Mozilla is seeking to support producers creating work on the web, about the web, and for a broad public. Producers should share Mozilla’s concern that the private communications of internet citizens are increasingly being monitored and monetized by state and corporate actors.
As we move to an era of ubiquitous and connected digital technology, Mozilla sees a vital role for media produced in the public interest that advocates for internet citizens being informed, empowered and in control of their digital lives.
Mozilla encourages applications from​ producers​ at​ any​ stage​ of​ their​ career,​ producing​ in any format that​ is​ available​ on​ the​ web. All applications must be in English.
There is no entry fee.
Eligibility
Open to anyone primarily based in Europe and Latin America. While this does not preclude makers from other regions from applying, content and approach must be relevant to one of these two regions.
Prize
The Mozilla Creative Media Grants program awards grants ranging from 10,000 USD to 35,000 USD for films, apps, storytelling and other forms of media that explore topics like mass surveillance and the erosion of online privacy.
