NZ On Air and Te Māngai Pāho co-fund
Te Māngai Pāho and NZ On Air are joining forces once again with a co-fund round for receptive and/or fluent Māori language content made to appeal to a broad audience.
Te Māngai Pāho and NZ On Air seek proposals for the creation of either Receptive (20-70%) and / or Fluent (70-100%) te reo Māori content for general audiences, distributed via established platforms, or platforms that have an established audience relevant to the idea.
Whether your idea is receptive or fluent, they seek ideas that strongly convey a Māori world view – content that highlights the beauty of te ao Māori and te reo Māori on screen.
