PROUD HEADLINE SPONSOR OF THE CREATIVE BATH AWARDS
Creativity's the winner. Always...
There is nothing more �onderful, though for some, more terrifying, than a blank sheet of paper.
That’s where creativity starts. With nothing.
It is up to us to create: sketch, code, write, design, perform, photo, sing, market, build. And more. All of us challenged by that blankness. All of us wishing to express, to reflect the world as we see it.
And all as creatives having singularity at our core. What is the point of same old same old; of simulacrum; of rinse and repeat.
No, it’s the minted creative newness which appeals.
We create. We test ourselves and ideas. To create is to say, I think this is interesting. And if it’s commercial, I really hope you do too.
It’s deep in the soul of creators to have their creativity tested. To put their thinking forward and have others interpret as they will.
And that’s what we’re recognising and celebrating tonight. Tested creativity.
Excellence in multiple areas. Inspiration.
All the decisions tonight have been made by a panel of independent judges chosen across many creative areas.
Hard calls, nearly all.
Enjoy your evenings. When Bath’s creative tribes of come together and when clever thinkers, makers and doers unite, then enjoyment and value is created for us all.

Awards maker
Tonight’s Award design was chosen via a competition for Bath Spa University students. The winner is LOUISE AUBREY – congrats!
Inspired by the new logo and the Royal Crescent, this year’s awards are cast in Bath Stone Jesmonite. The more sustainable alternative to concrete has been acid etched to replicate the imperfect stone texture of true Bath Stone. The new Creative Bath logo is included front and centre on the awards and has been filled with pigmented Jesmonite in the blue tone of the new colour palette. Each category and winner name was then laser etched onto the side of the awards which stands out against the bath stone colour as it burns through the material.
