Creative Dundee together with InGAME, have launched their first Insights Collaborative Commission of £1,000, inviting applications that combine creativity and games to demonstrate the early-stage potential of creating positive social impacts through experimental collaborations.
At each of their InGAME Insights events, Creative Dundee and InGAME have an open call for one Insights Collaborative Commission of £1,000. They’re making this commission available to stimulate new, collaborative ways for creative communities across the city and wider region – artists, designers, makers, games developers – to come together around topics that matter.
Apply here by 09:00 BST on Monday 16 November 2020
Through this commission, the aim is to: promote partnerships between Dundee and the wider region’s creative and games sectors; provide time for collaborators to learn from each other and visit each other’s work spaces, either physically or virtually; champion collaborative learning and opportunities for experimentation; create space for concept development, with clear societal benefits; and share insight blogs on Creative Dundee’s website following each commission.
Applicants eligible to apply for this commission are:
- A creative practitioner / business collaborating with a games practitioner / business, or vice versa. Freelancers, SME businesses, students, creative social enterprises, charities and collectives are eligible.
- This commission is about creating new collaborations and concepts – applications must involve a collaborative partnership, therefore collaborators should not be from the same business / organisation / collective. The two collaborators must be working together for the first time.
- Each collaborator must be based in Dundee, or within the Tay Cities region. This region covers Dundee City, Angus, Perth & Kinross and North Fife.
The commission will be awarded to a partnership who can demonstrate they have an early-stage experimental idea that has the potential to positively impact society – such as protecting and improving our environment, supporting equity and inclusion, improving health and wellbeing… The commissioned resource will be used to further scope out an early-stage digital or physical prototype.
Tickets are now available for InGAME Insights #3 on Wednesday 25 November 2020 via zoom. Book your tickets here.
