The Honeycomb Creative Buzz Award
Honeycomb Creative Works is pleased to announce the winners of the Honeycomb – Creative Buzz Award.
The Honeycomb Creative Buzz Award was developed to equip young creative innovators with the skills and connections to make a positive contribution to society and the creative economy. Graduates from the Class-of-2014 in Northern Ireland and the border counties of the Republic of Ireland were invited to submit their work to a digital competition. The winners of the Creative Buzz Award have won the opportunity of a week-long immersion at CultureTech, a celebration of digital creativity taking place in Derry ~ Londonderry in September. The key element of their prize is the bespoke Honeycomb Bootcamp.
Bootcamp is an intensive four-day programme to help participants to further develop their creative potential and find the best avenues for their talent.
Bootcamp will help them to make new connections and to learn about themselves and the values they bring to the creative economy in Ireland. They will get to work with key leaders shaping the digital landscape in Ireland today and learn from industry pioneers and meet the people who can help them grow.. And of course, it offers an unrivalled opportunity to network with other talented peers from their own region. Bootcamp will culminate in a pitching competition judged by industry experts to select a single prizewinner to attend CultureTech Brooklyn USA from November 12th to 14th fully funded by Honeycomb.
