The five host boroughs are home to over 10,000 artists, including a handful of Turner
Prize winners. This makes the region Europe’s largest cultural quarter. To celebrate this and to mark the beginning of the Cultural Olympiad, the host boroughs – in association with Arts Council England, London and the Whitechapel Gallery – are launching a new art award.

We are now inviting submissions for a participatory art project from an artist based in one of the five host boroughs: Greenwich, Hackney, Tower Hamlets, Newham and Waltham Forest.

This new art award will play an important part in the development of CREATE. Integral to the award is the active participation of people who live in each of the five host boroughs.

The final piece can be permanent or temporary and we welcome proposals from artists working in all media.

The commission will be made in September 2008 on the launch weekend of the Cultural Olympiad. The work must culminate in July 2009 as part of CREATE09.

The total value of the commission is £40K.
