WarnerMedia Access Talent Spotlight is unique in that it focuses on people with disabilities, MENA, Trans, and Indigenous talent, said Grace Moss, Vice President, Equity and Inclusion, Programs, WarnerMedia.

Our goal is to discover untapped and unique talent from underrepresented communities who are seeking an opportunity to break into the entertainment industry.

Submissions will open on December 13 and close on January 28, and top choices will be selected and notified by end of February. For more information about the program, application, submission materials, and evaluation criteria, please visit https://warnermediaaccess.submittable.com/submit.
