Vivid Creative Sydney wants you to contribute

Did you tweet in a question at our debate or panel discussions? Did you learn something from our mentors at the Portfolio Masterclass? Maybe you blogged a review of the Sydney Film Festival premiere of Alex Munt’s LBF, crafted a collage after our Etsy crafty party with FBI Social, or snapped your friends getting down at our Broken Stone Records Showcase? Did you post about one of the talks, exhibitions or workshops around the city as part of our Creative Sydney Recommends “fringe” program? Or did you tweet big ideas from our Creative Futures sessions at the Sydney Opera House?

If you tweeted it, blogged it, snapped it or reviewed it, we want to hear from you.

We’re working with our partners at Blurb to publish a record of all the amazing people and big ideas who made this year’s Creative Sydney so special. Contribute your photos, writing, tweets, reviews or comments to our book by emailing us at hello@creativesydney.com.au If we feature your content you’ll snag a copy for free – everyone else will be able to pick up a copy via Blurb. If you were there chances are you’ll see yourself in Creative Sydney: the book.
