The Creative Circle is continuing to grow, with entries higher than ever before, this in turn helps us to serve the next generation of creative talent.”

As ever, entry into the Creative Circle awards helps support 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.
