| AFA/PL002 |  TOP MODEL OF COLOUR The organisers of Top Model of Colour are looking for companies that wish to sponsor/support this year's event by providing either cash sponsorship, prizes or services for the competition. Last year's show was by far the biggest and best competition to date, with over 3,500 candidates, heats around the country and a gala finale at Chelsea Football Club's Stamford Bridge stadium in London. This year is the fourth year of the competition and is expected to be the biggest yet. The show is ongoing for nine months and consists of applications, live regional heats in July/August and the grand finale in November. So a sponsor receives continuous publicity from all client groups, models, family members and businesses. As ever the show has attracted unprecedented press coverage from the likes of the Evening Standard, Metro, the BBC and many more (as can be seen by searching the web for 'mahogany models' or visiting http://www.mahoganymodels.co.uk/show-presspage.php to get a feel for how big the show is). The competition is open to male and female models of African, Caribbean, Asian, Oriental, Hispanic and bi- and multi-racial ethnicity. Sponsors have the option of either sponsoring with cash and receiving higher prominence on the media information distributed or sponsoring prizes in kind and being a secondary or associate sponsor/supporter. Detailed current opportunities are listed below. This is the premium talent contest for models of ethnic minority descent and fills an important gap in the talent search market for people of colour. Many of the finest models working in the country today got their first break through the competition and everyone who has taken part confirms that the experience was really useful in getting day-to-day modelling jobs. "We welcome any other ideas or suggestions that you may have and we can tailor a package specifically for you and we look forward to hearing from you. To discuss the sponsorship packages and/or to receive a sponsorship pack or to become a sponsor of Top Model of Colour 2009, please contact us". Contact: Shola Oyebade.

| AFA/0004 | UMZABALAZO ART CONSULTANTS Umzabalazo Art Consultants is a twelve year old Zimbabwean art consultant organisation based in Bulawayo. They have decided to venture into television and radio drama making after seeing its potential in the country. Umzabalazo have recently been involved in the making of a radio soap which was sponsored by the Centre for Disease Control (C.D.C) of the USA, but the project was under another organisation. Hence they now feel that they are ready to run similar programmes on their own. The organisation has television comedy and drama scripts that have been written - but does not have the money to produce them. In addition, they have more proposals for TV talk shows and game shows that they will wish to produce. Zimbabwe has one television channel currently and is anticipating opening a second one, so first preference is being given to locally-produced programmes. This produces a very high demand for television shows - a positive situation, provided sponsors can be found. The organisation feels that regardless of the hardships the country is currently experiencing, the art industry still stands a chance of becoming highly lucrative. Such projects will not only create job opportunities for the nation's youth, it will also help to tap the into the country's abundant talent. Umzabalazo Art Consultants believe that with the correct training and exposure they will make it in the entertainment industry, not only in their own country but also internationally. They know that with stable financial support they will be able to grow to become one of the recognised production houses in the country. They hope a willing sponsor will be able to help them achieve this goal. Contact: Sanelisiwe Mahlangu, Marketing Officer. Address: 1331 Thshepisong Phase 6, Rodeport, South Africa 1724.

| AFA/0004 | UGANDA INTERNATIONAL FILM FOUNDATION Uganda International Film Foundation, based in Kampala, has beern set up in response to a situation in which "there is an influx of Nolly hood, holly hood and bolly hood movies, but almost nothing from the locals". It was this vacuum that prompted seven individuals to try to start an organistion that would bring together all the filmmakers in Uganda. UIFF is a fully registered company with a certificate, constitution, Articles and Memorandum, as well as eight committed directors. It has so far produced one demonstration film which itsef has been sufficient to attract over one hundred people to join a new forum referred to as Cineclub. Weekly eetings are addressed by scholars in film, directing, producing and acting for cinema. The club meets every Thursday at the National Theatre for its discussions and works hand in hand with two European based organisations, namely Maisha and the Amakula Film Festival, which help with the equipping of members with skills and the technical know-how. The UIFF would like to stand and walk but is constrained financially - and it is against this background that the organisation would like to find funders and partners to work with.
