Got a story to tell the world? Need help getting your idea off the ground? Let Matt Barr and his friends at Db help….

Regular listeners to Matts podcast Looking Sideways will have heard him talking about this idea on and off over the last couple of years.

“The idea is simple’ says Matt “Together, we want to find the next generation of creatives, and help them tell the tales the world needs to know. We’re also looking for ideas that aren’t the usual tried-and-tested action sports/outdoor industry tales.’

“If you’re a photographer, a writer, a podcaster, a journalist, an artist or a film-maker with a story to tell, we want to hear from you. And we want to help you get your project out there with the Db x Looking Sideways Fund.’

Everyone has to start somewhere and this is a great way to kick start your creative adventure.

“We’re looking for an original idea,’ says Matt, ‘And a story that you’re burning to tell that the rest of the world needs to hear. ‘I want to go surfing in Indo with my mates and take photos of it’ is unlikely to make the grade.”
