What is Beyond Tomorrow all about?

BEYOND TOMORROW is a campaign that focuses on supporting the creative potential of up-and-coming creatives by providing them with mentors and creative tools that will help them create great work.

BEYOND TOMORROW will be a two-month mentorship program that partners up-and-coming creatives (5 years or less in the industry) with a mentor in their field. Mentees are expected to produce original, noncommercial work (personal; not intended or under contract with clients) for this program.

If chosen for the mentorship program, mentees are allotted at least three mentorship sessions at around 30 minutes to 1 hour per session. It is up to the mentees how they want to use the allotted time.

There will only be one chosen mentee per category and apart from the mentorship that they will be receiving, the Beyond the Box team will also be giving the mentees an Apple product to help kick start their journey in the industry.

Consolation prizes are also up for grabs to those applications that are among the top 5 per category but will unfortunately not be chosen for the mentorship program. It is a token of appreciation from the Beyond the Box team for taking the time and effort to submit their entries to the program.
