Jeremy Green, Managing Director of the Creative Circle, comments: “It is an honour to have such incredible talent heading up our Gold juries this year. The Creative Circle is going from strength to strength, with us once again breaking records for the number of entrant companies and works year on year. We are proud to be the number one awards show that promotes the best of UK creativity and talent.”

The Creative Circle Awards ceremony will again take place at this year’s UK Creative Festival at Dreamland, Margate, closing the event on 13th July 2023.

As ever, entry into the Creative Circle awards will mean supporting wider representation in the creative industries. 10% of all award entry fees and 100% of membership fees continue to be pledged to the Creative Foundation charity - which has raised over £150,000 since its launch in 2017. With no employees or overheads to support, 100% of this has gone directly towards supporting young creatives.
