Meet the 2024 Creative Edinburgh Awards Finalists!
Nominations for the Awards opened earlier this year and we were excited to see the creative community sending in applications for themselves, their peers, and projects that have inspired them over the past 12 months. Nominations could be submitted into any of the ten Awards Categories, including two new categories for this year - the Development Award and the Festivals Award.
Once nominations closed, all applications were reviewed by a panel of expert judges and peers from the creative industries. For each Awards Category, a shortlist of finalists was determined, not an easy task given the amazing initiatives and creative work happening in our city!
Scroll down to see all the finalists of the 2024 Creative Edinburgh Awards!

Collaborative processes go hand in hand with creative pursuits and many projects flourish as a result of positive collaboration.

This Award recognises the remarkable journey of personal and professional development that often goes unnoticed.
The Inclusion Award
Edinburgh is a diverse city, and we want to celebrate projects/organisations that have worked hard for their work to reflect this diversity.
The Student Award

Edinburgh is a globally recognised city famed for its creative spirit and cultural offerings. We want to hear about projects which are intrinsically linked with the city and couldn’t have happened elsewhere.
Behind the Design
Are you loving our creative campaign as much as we are? 'The Creatives Who Shape Our City' has been created by local freelance designer Adrian Borque.
“Edinburgh is such a beautiful city, and it inspired me to get back into drawing and illustration. This campaign is my opportunity to say thank you to the city that has allowed me to follow my passion.”
Thank You to Our Supporters!
