Three Nottingham Creative Business entrepreneurs have been given a key stage on the Southbank of London as part of Wayne Hemingway’s latest scheme KiosKiosK.

The opportunity comes as Nottingham is looking to enhance its profile as a creative city of national and international importance. Part of the wider push on Nottingham’s creativity includes this year’s Nottingham Creative Business Awards (7 October, 2009) and the Roses Design Awards (23 October, 2009).

Invest in Nottingham has supported and engaged three Nottingham Creative Business entrepreneurs sonodesign, Hannah&Bella and Bags 2 Riches to showcase their creative designs at KiosKiosK.

Wayne Hemingway said of the project: “Whilst the first KiosKiosk is in London, creativity is spread across the nation and through my relationship with Invest in Nottingham, Nottingham City Council and the Universities in the city I know what a creative place Nottingham is.”

“From an urban design perspective many of our towns and cities’ streetscapes would benefit from well-designed kiosks that provide beacons of creativity. I am calling on people with creative products to wow the world to come forward to take advantage of KiosKiosK this summer.”

David Robinson, President of Speedo International and Chairman of this year’s Nottingham Creative Business Awards, said: “This is an ideal opportunity for the city’s creative sector to enhance their own businesses and also Nottingham’s profile as a creative city.”

“Nottingham is a hotbed of globally influential talent and we hope to show the world how much excellent creative work is going on around the city by being involved in such campaigns and supporting our creative network.”

Nottingham is also looking into being the first host city outside of London to stage this new campaign.

The Nottingham Creative Business Awards ceremony will be held on Wednesday 7th October at The Council House. For further information contact Tracey Meadow on 0115 9154431.
