2025 Jackson Wild Media Lab Application

Ends on

The Jackson Wild Media Lab (JWML) is a competitive, fully funded, and intensive nine-day filmmaking workshop created for emerging filmmakers and science communicators. The workshop brings together early-career media makers, conservationists, and scientists to collaborate on science and conservation media projects under the guidance of world-class mentors and instructors.

This year, we are focusing on a North American (USA, Canada, Mexico, and the Caribbean) applicant pool. If you’re located outside of North America, we encourage you to explore other Partner Labs and join The Collective for the latest updates on additional global opportunities.

Applicants should expect to lift equipment (cameras, tripods, lighting gear, etc) and walk up to 2km or more, but accommodations can be made if necessary. Let the Jackson Wild Media Lab team know of any concerns or limitations during the application process.
