Creativity Challenge Playground

Creativity Challenge Playground
Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design 2022

 

A. What is the Creativity Challenge Playground?

A pairing model which establishes the collaboration between two individuals/groups/organisations/businesses operating in at least two different creative fields for ideas, prototype production, or cultural and creative services.

It is expected to:
• Create a playground to connect, challenge and get the local Vietnamese talents to go beyond their creative capacity
• Level up the knowledge and skills relating to culture, arts and creativity
• Build up the capacity of cross-disciplinary project execution and management

The Creativity Committee will shortlist and form (maximum) five (05) pairs. Each pair is required to present their cultural and creative ideas which follow the topic of CHANGE for Sustainable Development. Their product/service prototypes will be showcased at the Vietnam Festival of Creativity & Design in November 2022. During the selection process, a maximum of 05 (five) pairs with the most potential ideas will receive the support from the Festival’s Creative Committee and a budget of 50,000,000 VND for each pair from the Organisers. Pairs can also proactively call for funding from other sources if needed.
