Mapping Creativity
£25K commission & four £1K development grants up for grabs by a Manchester-led team
Manchester Beacon aims to commission an interactive project that drives Manchester's collective creativity
The commissioned project will use disruptive, open source or social technologies to aggregate and maximise Manchester’s resources
It will catalyse, facilitate and forge links between disconnected communities through a series of physical and virtual activities
It will facilitate better communication between two or more social groups and provide tools to visualise this interaction
The project will be co-designed with its users and have the potential to live on after the commissioned project is over
The winning project will be supported, not driven, by technology
