Thank you to everyone who nominated their favourite creative ventures in Birmingham over the last 2 months. The nominations period is closed now, but we have a fine haul of 117 nominations and to date over 3200 votes. The voting will remain open for another month while we compile the content for the book and video and whilst we hold a series of small events for each category, where we can get the chance to meet and chat with the nominees.

We’re in the process of organising the final event now and we’ll keep you posted on the www.creativebirmingham.com site as we finalise the details. Anyone who wants to get involved, even at this stage, be it as a contributor to the book, film maker, sponsor, supporter or someone willing to host an event or contribute in kind towards the final event, please get in touch. This is entirely a non-funded, pennyless community project run as a starting point for conversations yet to come. Contact me on karl@theadherecreative.com if you feel compelled to get involved.
