Creative Bath Awards 2022 Programme

CREATIVITYʼS THE WINNER.

ALWAYS 6PM-11PM, QUEEN SQUARE creativebathawards.org #CreativeBathAwards | @CreativeBath

21 JULY 2022 #CreativeBathAwards | @CreativeBath 02 #CreativeBath

Creativity's the winner. Always ...

Creating is our world. We see things differently: slicker, newer, cooler, faster, somehow better, crisper, brighter, more appealing, more engaging, inspiring.

Creativity can improve, enhance, extend, help you see the world differently. But at its best, it transforms.

We create: we test ourselves. In public.

To create is to say, I think this is interesting. And if it’s commercial, I really hope you do too.

It’s deep in the soul of creators to have their creativity tested. To put their thinking forward and have others interpret as they will.

So just imagine having that very creativity tested and recognised not just by you or by your team; not just by your clients or by your customers; but by your peers..?

What better area, in short, for independently-judged Awards than the creative, tech and cultural sector..?

And that’s what we’re recognising and celebrating tonight. Tested creativity.

Excellence in multiple areas. Inspiration.

All the decisions tonight have been made by a panel of independent judges chosen across many creative areas. Hard calls, nearly all.

Enjoy tonight. When all the creative tribes of Bath come together and when clever thinkers, makers and doers unite, then enjoyment and value is created for us all.

Good luck, eh?

And yeah. Creativity’s the winner.

Always…

A message from our Headline Sponsor, Bath Spa University “As a University significantly devoted to creativity and human centred enquiry, Bath Spa is delighted to be a part of the Creative Bath Awards. These are exciting times for creativity and for Bath as a kernel of creative endeavour. Good luck finalists and thank you for your inspiring submissions!”

Andy Salmon, Pro-Vice-Chancellor, External and Executive Dean at Bath Spa University
