Application form available here.

The Fund was originally launched three years ago to offer financial support to new artists and directors who had not created a Welsh music video before. This has ensured growth in the number of Welsh music videos being created as well as seeing artists and directors from all across Wales being immersed in Welsh culture for the first time. The two previous rounds funded 30 new music videos. All videos are listed on the Fund’s profile on Am.
The third round of the Fund will support a further 20 videos, with applications open from today. Apply now!
Alun Llwyd, Chief Executive of PYST Cyf said: “It has been a pleasure to enjoy the vision and excitement of the videos created so far. Not only have they been an essential marketing resource for singles being released but it has also opened doors for artists and directors from all walks of life and communities involved in Welsh music, adding to the diversity and richness of our musical landscape.”
Beth Angell, S4C’s Head of Entertainment and Factual Entertainment said: “It’s an absolute pleasure for S4C to support the fund once again. The creativity and collaboration that has been shown over the past few years is a testament to the passion of young artists from all over Wales – and I’m really looking forward to seeing new talents get a chance again this year.”
