The Vancouver International Mountain Film Festival and Mountain Equipment Co-op have announced a new grant intended to enable local explorers and adventurers to undertake their dream expeditions.
The MEC Adventure Grant is seeking to award funds to local teams that have exploratory and human-powered objectives in adventurous arenas, according to the film festival's website. Its aim is to support Canadian adventurers both in their own backyard and around the world, while promoting a multitude of outdoor pursuits and bringing the resulting story to the VIMFF stage for the community to enjoy.
Deadline for applications is Dec. 31. Recipients will be announced at VIMFF in February 2016. For more information, visit www.vimff.org/adventuregrant.
