Empowering the Next Generation of Creatives

Schools 48 Hour Media Community Interest Company is a not for profit company where we encourage raw talent to meet real-world opportunity. 

We bridge the gap between the classroom and UK media industries by hosting high-energy, 48-hour challenges that push students to innovate, collaborate, and create. By providing free access to professional resources and expert mentorship, we empower young people, particularly those who are underrepresented in the media world to find their voice in the digital age. 

For our participants, it’s a chance to build a portfolio through immersive, experiential learning. 

For our sponsors, it’s an invitation to invest in a more diverse creative future for our young and aspiring creatives.

We are proud to donate all our profits to youth mental health charities in the UK. We foster the idea of giving back to communities and helping young people to realise their dreams. 

Join us in championing community responsibility and unlocking the potential of the next generation of creatives and storytellers.
