The deadline for the second round of applications for Worthing Youth Council's Seafront Improvement Grants has been extended, but all artists, creatives, individuals and groups who are thinking of applying still do not have too long.  Final designs must be submitted by 4.00pm on Friday 10th July 2015.

Funded by Worthing Borough Council, this scheme is looking for creative ideas which celebrate Worthing seafront promenade and inspire both visitors and residents.

For example, we are looking for original and vibrant designs for:
•    commemorative plaques
•    art installations
•    planters
•    sensory trails or maps

From Splash Point in the east through to the Lido in the west and including Worthing Pier, Seafront Grants are available for local groups and individual artists in the Worthing Community, with winning designs being awarded up to £2,000 per application.

A small panel comprising of Worthing Youth Council, Worthing Council Leader Councillor Daniel Humphreys and Worthing Journal journalist Paul Holden will decide which applications will receive a grant.

Cllr Daniel Humphreys, Leader Worthing Borough Council adds "I am constantly impressed by the creativity of the residents of Worthing.  So I am really looking forward to meeting up with the Worthing Youth Council and Paul Holden to judge these entries later in the month and seeing the winning entries in place this summer.  Worthing is in the midst of ambitious regeneration plans and this Seafront Improvement Grant, encouraging cultural and artistic regeneration also, is at the very heart of those ambitions."

Closing date: Friday, 10th July 2015.  To submit an entry please visit the Adur and Worthing website www.adur-worthing.gov.uk/seafront-grants for full details or email Wendy Francis wendy.francis@adur-worthing.gov.uk.
