AN G TEAM
(english version below)
An bhfuil tusa ábalta Baile le Gaeilge a dhéanamh de do Phobalsa do TG4?
Tá sraith úrnua á léiriú ag TG4 agus Adare Productions ina mbeidh pobail nach pobail Ghaeltachta iad in ann dul in iomaíocht lena chéile le bheith ina mBuaiteoirí G-Team 2011 agus duais €40,000 ó Fhoras na Gaeilge a bhuachan le húsáid chun a gceantar áitiúil a chur chun cinn. Beidh an clár nua agus nuálach.
'Seard atá sa ‘G-Team’ sraith nua 10 clár ar TG4 ina bhfeicfear pobail nach labhraínn Gaeilge ó cheann ceann na hÉireann agus dúshlán a thabhairt dóibh ár dteanga dhúchasach a úsáid ina saol ó lá go lá. An bhfuil do bhúistéir áitiúil in ann feoil a dhíol leat i nGaeilge? An bhfuil na tuismitheoirí áitiúla in ann go leor den teanga a fhoghlaim le scéal a léamh dá leanaí ag am codlata?
Tá Ceannairí Foirne le Gaeilge i ngach réigiún á lorg againn faoi láthair lena mbaile féin a chur san iomaíocht agus le bheith i gceannas ar iarracht a bpobal a ‘G-Day’ (Lá na Gaeilge) féin a bhaint amach.
'Séard a bheidh in ‘G-Day’ an lá a thiocfaidh na ceamaraí chuig an mbaile le féachaint ar an bpobal agus féile á reáchtáil acu agus dian-iarracht á déanamh acu an Ghaeilge a labhairt i gcaitheamh an lae. Beidh na ceannairí foirne i gceannas ar gach gné den ullmhúchán ag druidim le G-Day ar an lá féin. Beidh na ceannairí foirne freagrach as muintir an bhaile a spreagadh dul i ngleic le dúshlán an G-Team chomh maith, agus an Ghaeilge a úsáid ó lá go lá sna seachtainí roimh an fhéile.
An ceannaire foirne tusa? An gcónaíonn tú i bpobal a bhainfeadh tairbhe agus taitneamh as dúshlán An G-Team? An féidir leat do phobal áitiúil a eagrú, a threorú agus a spreagadh a seacht ndícheall a dhéanamh agus dul san iomaíocht i gcomórtas fíor-náisiúnta? Más ea, ba mhaith linn é a chlos uait...
An 11 Aibreán beidh foirm iarratais do An G-Team ar fáil don chéad uair anseo ar láithreán gréasáin TG4. An lá sin, agus go ceann coicíse ina dhiaidh sin agus sin amháin. Beidh ceannairí foirne ó bhaile ar bith nach baile Gaeltachta é, ar fud na tíre, in ann iarratas a dhéanamh.

TG4 and Adare Productions are producing a brand new series where non-Gaeltacht communities can compete against each other for the opportunity to call themselves The G-Team winners 2011 and win a €40,000 Foras na Gaeilge prize to use in promoting their local area.
‘The G-Team’ is a new 10 part series on TG4 that will feature non-Irish speaking communities from all over Ireland and challenge them to begin using their native tongue in their daily routines. Can your local butcher sell the Sunday roast in Irish? Can the parents in your community learn enough of the language to read their kids a bedtime story?
We are currently looking for Irish speaking Team Leaders in each region to put their town forward and spearhead their community’s effort as they work towards their very own G -Day (Gaeilge) Day.
Are you a team leader? Do you live in a community that would benefit and embrace The G-Team challenge? Can you organise, focus and drive your local community to put their best foot forward and compete in a truly national competition? If so, we want to hear from you…
For the first time, from the 11th of April the entry form for 'An G-Team' will be available here on the Tg4 website. From this day there are two weeks - and two weeks only to enter. Any team leader form any non-Gaeltacht in the country can apply.

Short Shorts is an established and successful short film scheme that BSÉ/IFB will maintain in a slightly modified form. Films made under the scheme can be live-action or animated; they should ‘tell a story' but need not use conventional narrative methods.
The scheme aims to encourage the making of films which, in their content or style or both, are innovative, provocative, idiosyncratic, audacious, or in some other way risky and rule-breaking. Projects selected for support are likely to be considered capable of playing in commercial cinemas as effective, if unconventional, adjuncts to the main programme.
Films may be made in Irish or English.
The genre for 2011 is FOOD. As a central theme in all of our daily lives, food means different things to different people but there is no doubt that for most it is a passionate love affair. There have been many great films based around lifes gastronomic pleasures, think Babette's Feast, Chocolat, Mystic Pizza and Waitress to name but a few. This year we want filmmakers to inspire audiences with their take on FOOD.
The deadline for Short Shorts applications is Friday 6th May 2011.
