CALL FOR PROPOSALS: Rule of Thirds - the first major event of North

As part of the Abandon Normal Devices (AND) festival, WeMakeMedia and folly are teaming up to deliver North, a programme of events and activities aimed at inspiring creative professionals to do things differently.
The first main event, taking place in South Cumbria in October 2009 is called Rule of Thirds. It will take the form of a one day gathering of creative thinkers to discuss the impact of digital culture on the creative workflow, and explore the exciting, developing opportunities for how we create, communicate and collaborate.

We’re inviting proposals from artists and members of the creative industries to contribute to the event.

We’re looking for creative people who want to share inspirational ideas and insights in the form of a 15 minute presentation. You can be working in any discipline, but we’re looking for speakers who will contribute presentations relevant to our main theme: exploring how digital culture and innovation are having an impact on creative workflows

Our intention is to bring together creative people from a range of disciplines to share, learn and debate. We’re really interested in exploring innovative approaches, creative workflows and new forms of collaboration.

Deadline for submissions: 1 September 2009
