Submissions open for Playable City Award 2015

By Rachel Morris  Wednesday Feb 25, 2015

Artists and creatives the world over are wracking their brains over the next Playable City installation to open in Bristol this autumn.

Submissions are now open for the £30,000 Playable City Award, which brought us Hello Lampost (2013) and Shadowing (2014).

Set up in 2013 by Watershed, The Playable City Award asks us to imagine how we might use technologies to make our cities more liveable, hopeful, and collaborative.

Independent journalism

Keep our city's journalism independent. Become a supporter member today.

The award is open to artists and creatives from all disciplines, from any country. As well as a £30,000 award, the winner will receive practical support and access to facilities to help enable the creators to realise their ideas.

The call for applications will remain open until 17:00 GMT on 7 April 2015 and a shortlist will be announced on 5 May 2015.
