Creative Edinburgh Awards and 4th Birthday Bash
We're delighted to announce details of our 4th annual awards and birthday bash. This is an opportunity to get together as a community of creative professionals to celebrate and amplify the talent in Edinburgh. Our awards highlight great ideas, inspired thinking and recognise the outstanding creativity of our city across all platforms and sectors, from process to outcome.
Come and join us for one heck of a party; with special guest performances, silent disco, a pop-up Marketplace and of course, the announcement of this year's winners. This year's awards Illustration has been designed by Illustrator Dominic Kesterton and the awards will be created and produced by Designer Karen Mabon.
Our members are at the heart of everything that we do at Creative Edinburgh. This year, we will invest all profits from ticket sales towards creating new opportunities for our network.
