Swatch MTV Playground: Where Creative Minds Meet

By News Desk

What Is It?

Swatch MTV Playground is an exciting new community website that aims to showcase creative talent from across the globe. The idea is to create the biggest international collective of imaginative minds and designers from around the world. And get them talking to each other.

As a member, your portfolio will not only be showcased to a worldwide audience of peers both student and professional, but you'll be able to connect with each other. You'll get the chance to share ideas and critique each other in an environment based on mutual respect for individuality and creative talent.

Competition

"Stretch your imagination to its limits. Enter the first Swatch MTV Playground competition by answering the brief "Imagine time in the future"."

Get creative and win scholarships, funding support or art and culture related goodies to fuel your passion!

There are two main prizes - one for students and another for professional creatives. If you're a student you'll win $20,000 towards your choice of either tuition fees or project funding. Professionals will win an inspirational trip to an iconic exhibition or art event.

There will also be runners-up prizes of annual memberships to museums and art galleries, books and magazine subscriptions.

Even if you don't win, you could get some valuable exposure for your work. The most inspiring, challenging and exciting submissions will feature in an online gallery, and could also be featured at Swatch MTV Playground events taking place around the world.
