Focus: Future Communities

How and where can networking and collective creative activity take place in the future? Which innovations in the analogue and digital fields respond to the new needs of our society? And: Which design measures open up new possibilities for social interaction in the city?

In the "Creatives for Vienna" 2021 competition, we received over 420 submissions on these issues. The focus was on establishing newly defined spaces, worlds of experience, production processes and associated new business models.

137 award-winning projects (in German) are supported with 7,000 euros each for their realisation.

Sharing experiences and learning from each other

In keeping with our focus on "Future Communities", the winners share their newly acquired knowledge with us and provide insights into their projects. Experiences from project implementation can be read in the individual project descriptions from 1 October 2021.

The competition

"Creatives for Vienna" 2021 subsequently hooks up on the 2020 ideas competition. We received over 700 ideas from Vienna's creative industries−including concepts for the use of public space, collaborative work, local production and sustainable business. This year (from 1 March to 8 June 2021), all Viennese creatives, visionaries and thinkers were invited to take part in a competition of implementation. The further development and realisation of projects from the 2020 competition was also possible.
