A second round of small projects is now available to established freelancers in the Isle of Man from creative and Manx cultural backgrounds. Projects are for immediate start and should be completed as soon as possible within 2 months from an agreed date.

We are happy to consider other proposals within our remit that can be completed whilst following current public health guidelines.

You may only be assigned one project at any one time and the payment for each will be £500 inclusive of VAT and any other expenses.

Whilst we are not asking you to prove that you rely on freelance work, we are operating on a trust basis that those applying need paid projects such as these at this time.
