As ever, entry into the Creative Circle awards helps support wider representation in the creative industries. 10% of all award entry fees and 100% of membership fees continue to be pledged to the Creative Foundation charity – which has raised over £150,000 since its launch in 2017. With no employees or overheads to support, 100% of this has gone directly towards supporting young creatives.
