Le còig thabhartasan de £5,000 rim faotainn, do luchd-labhairt fileanta na Gàidhlig a tha 35 bliadhna dh’ aois agus nas òige, tha a’ mhaoin air a dealbhadh airson taic a thoirt do mhodhan-obrach cruthachail a tha a’ toirt beò sgeulachdan, a’ dèanamh cinnteach gu bheil am beartas cultarach agus an tùs aca a’ dèanamh ceangal ri luchd-èisteachd didseatach co-aimsireil.

Bidh na labhairtean-lìn ann am Beurla agus fosgailte don h-uile duine. Tha com-pàirt sna bùithtean-obrach taic ga àrd-mholadh dhaibhsan a tha a’ tagradh no a’ planadh air tagradh, oir bidh iad cuideachd a’ tabhann stiùireadh cudromach agus co-theacsa mu thimcheall nan amasan don mhaoin.
