Young Creative Entrepreneur Awards

 

Now let us switch the focus to more positive Government related news. Secretary of State for Culture, Media and Sport Ben Bradshaw launched the UK Young Creative Entrepreneur Awards for 2009/10 at the beginning of this month.

 

There are eight awards in total relating to different creative disciplines, one of which is music. The other categories are communications, design, fashion, interactive, publishing, screen and visual arts.

 

Upon launching the scheme, Bradshaw said in a statement: “The creative industries are one of the UK’s success stories and we are known worldwide for the strength of our creative talent. Therefore it’s only right that we celebrate our young creative entrepreneurs and give them an opportunity to gain further experience and knowledge at an international level”.
