The A Life Electric project has been shortlisted for The John Byrne Award quarterly prize.

We welcome this news as any chance to give epilepsy the spotlight it deserves within the arts community and to reach wider audiences. We've been selected alongside six other projects from 350 entries, which can all be viewed here.

"The six, shortlisted entries combine exceptional technical execution with compelling and thought-provoking exploration of ideas. The winner will be chosen by our inspirational judging panel and announced shortly."

The John Byrne Award champions creativity and curiosity in Scotland, "Welcoming people who seek a deeper understanding of the values that drive our beliefs and actions. Our mission is to create Scotland’s most inclusive, creative arts platform and encourage the questioning and development of values appropriate to our age."

This is for the team and everyone involved in this project from the start.

Thank you to all our friends and followers for your continued support of this project. This news comes the day after SUDEP Action's Memorial Day, which is a charity we support with this project and that represents family's bereaved by epilepsy.

Please continue to follow the project, we have updates coming very soon on the book and film. Work continues to be done behind the scenes. This project is coming home this year. Writing every day.
