Description

IC tomorrow is running the £225k 'Digital Innovation Contest – Cross-sector Exploration' to encourage digital innovation across three themes  - retail, events and analytics.

Contest winners will receive up to £25k each (excluding VAT) in funding and have the opportunity to trial their solution with the relevant contest challenge partner, including Argos, Procter & Gamble, Holition, SYCO, Live Nation, Penguin Random House, the British Film Institute, LIFT (supported by Saatchi & Saatchi), and The Barbican.  We are looking for great ideas that address one of the nine contest challenges.

This event is for anyone who is thinking about entering the contest to ensure their application fits the judging criteria. IC tomorrow will also be running a live webinar for anyone who is unable to attend in person.
