Tell Your Story: Win a Professional Video
Kent Community Foundation is teaming up with Blueprint Film to offer a Kent or Medway charitable organisation a professional promotional video.
We're excited to announce a fantastic opportunity for your charity or community group.
Kent-based video production company, Blueprint Film would like to visit a voluntary organisation in Kent or Medway to shoot and produce a video you can use for marketing purposes, so that you can share your story through the power of film.
Having a video to explain who you are and demonstrate what you do can show supporters, funders and other community members the difference you are making and gain even more support for your cause.
To select an organisation, we are running a competition for charities and community groups with an annual income of £3 million or less serving communities in Kent and / or Medway.
Entering is simple:
Submit a written entry of no more than 500 words or a short one to two minute video (a simple recording on a phone is fine) describing your organisation's mission, activities, and the positive impact you have on local communities. Click here to download a Word document >> with questions you can use as prompts to help you put an entry together if you wish. After clicking, you should find a Word document in the downloads area of your web browser.
Deadline: Entries must be received by 11:59pm Sunday 26th January 2025.

Blueprint Film are a professional video production company based in Faversham, Kent. Over our 17 years in business we have worked with a range of commercial and charitable clients, supporting them through their video marketing campaigns. Throughout this time, our corporate work has been run alongside our own arts foundation, Blueprint Arts, delivering creative workshops to disadvantaged communities within Kent.
We strongly believe in the power of video as tool for storytelling. It engages audiences through empathy and helps to change perceptions. Video marketing is one of the most valuable assets available to promote activities and engage with audiences, but for many charities the price of production makes it inaccessible.
At Blueprint Film we are launching our new commitment to give back to Kent-based charities and this is part of that loyalty to a wonderful sector supporting people in our county.
