The 2nd edition of VANCOUVER CREATIVES - Vancouver Creatives 2 - is coming! Don't miss this unique exhibition project celebrating entrepreneurial creativity and innovation across all industries in Vancity! As an innovation this year we've assembled a panel of 10 prestigious YVR jurors in representation of the city's established creative culture and its legacy to select the 20 talents to be photographed for this second portfolio of Vancouver Creatives.

We're excited to have gathered an exceptional panel of jurors that actually includes Vancouver Is Awesome's own multitalented editor Bob Kronbauer! The other confirmed jurors are Michael Green (MG Architecture), Nigel Prince (Contemporary Art Gallery), Niels Bendtsen (Bensen), Hajnalka Mandula (Mandula), Graham MacInnes (Pound & Grain), Marie Khouri (Artist), Jim Tobler (Montecristo magazine) and Karri Schuermans (Chambar)!

Scheduled to launch in early January as an open call to all of Vancouver's core creative forces, Vancouver Creatives 2 will accept submissions for an entire month. Jurors will then collectively draw the new portfolio of 20 to be announced in February. Production will then take place through early Spring with our adapted 8x10 Calotype process with tentative exhibition dates for June, 2015. Laureates will all be published on Vancouver Is Awesome on a weekly basis, be exhibited in print along with the jurors, and have the opportunity to present their own industry and creative practice during short format public talks/lectures on opening night.
