Around 150 youngsters saw the fruits of their labours at a screening of 20 media project films.
The young people aged from 13 to 25 year-olds from Swindon and all over Wiltshire took up the Mega Media Challenge producing projects in film, animation, graphic design, photography, music and computer games.
Project co-ordinator Sherylee Houssein of Create Studios, Swindon, said: “Mega Media Challenge has been great at developing young people’s skills and ideas into real projects.
“This project has given young people the chance to take a step closer to working professionally in the industry.’’
Each group won £1,000 bursaries to make their project and at the same time the youngsters were mentored by professionals.
The project partners alongside Create were Wiltshire Youth Arts Partnership and Salisbury Arts Centre where the premiere screening took place. The theme was Dreams and Journeys and addressed such subjects as street fashion, life choices employment and domestic violence.
The Mega Media Challenge will now be screened across the region and submitted for national competitions.
