Originally “curated” by Laetitia Castor, the ‘Dream, Dare, Create initiative is a worldwide philanthropist programme which was created to develop women’s freedom and creativity. The global campaign kicked off in the UK with one entrepreneur being afforded the opportunity to be awarded a £20 000 bursary to pursue their own creative project. A panel of judges making up the Cointreau Creative crew were selected and include actress, Eva Longoria, entrepreneur Kelly Hoppen and Glamour UK editor, Jo Elvin. The winner is due to be announced in Spring 2016.
South Africa has followed suit and launched it’s very own #DreamDareCreate campaign where one lucky local creative will have access to a R100 000.00 grant to pursue their creative career.
South Africa has also selected a Creative Crew of young and upcoming talent to represent the brand and to inspire.

Hi. Is there more details that I could have to apply for this ?
Thanks
This sounds AH-Mazing!!!
Please can I have more information on how to reply for this grant (Not sure if I missed this update)
As a creative myself I have been blessed to have worked on international cinema, theatre and television projects, both behind the scenes and in front of the camera …. But I never had the opportunity to showcase MY creative flair.
This is just right up my alley.
Thank you Cointreau
