The Emerge Awards are a new, UK-wide, open competition that champions emerging talent and diversity in the creative industries.

2018’s awards will take place on May 10th at Ugly Duck in London.

The awards promise to deliver a showcase of the UK’s best emerging talent in Architecture, Art, Craft, Creative Writing, Design, Digital Art, Fashion, Film, Gaming, Music, Performance and Photography.

The awards are in 12 categories, Architecture, Art, Craft, Writing, Design, Digital Art, Fashion, Film, Gaming, Music, Performance, Photography, with each carrying a £1,000 prize.

They were set up in response to the changing nature of Britain’s relationship with Europe by Guy Armitage, the CEO of Zealous, a London-based digital submissions platform for the creative community.
