The BBC has chosen Fluid Creativity to participate in the new @North commissioning initiative being led by the BBC Children’s department. The BBC Children’s department is due to move to Salford Media City early next year.

Fluid beat nearly 200 applicants to become one of 40 companies from across the North to have been selected.

The ultimate prize is for four companies who will share around £500,000 in commissioning projects for CBBC and Cbeebies.

The team at Fluid Creativity are really looking forward to getting stuck in at the workshop days and will hopefully make a great impression on the team of experts.

The @North project is intended to help encourage the development of a larger regional supply base of indies around the BBC to deliver multi platform content targeted at children.
