Confluence Ideathon 2021: A competition to develop innovative solutions for a cultural space

| @indiablooms | 25 Dec 2020, 12:22 pm

New Delhi/IBNS: The Confluence Ideathon 2021 is inviting applications for an online competition where participants will have to develop innovative solutions for a cultural space in an urban setting.

The Confluence Ideathon 2021 x Serendipity Arts Foundation is steered by Hero Enterprise, and powered by the Indian Angel Network and TiE Global, along with a host of premier educational institutions as partners, from across the world, such as The Royal College of Arts, London, IIM Ahmedabad, IIT Roorkee, IIM Visakhapatnam, IIM Bodh Gaya, IIM Amritsar, IIT Roorkee, BML Munjal University, NIFT Kannur and others.

Entries will open on January 13, 2021.

The Ideathon aims to bring together innovative minds in the world to develop creative solutions for a proposed world class arts facility in the National Capital Region covering performing, visual, culinary, film, and literary practices in the arts and also act as a tool for creating public good through learning, opportunities, and employment in the arts.

The forum has identified some areas that have considerable stake in the development of this unique cultural space, in sight of the surging technological acceleration, climate change, and shifting economic orders that are affecting the future of creative industries across the globe.

Sunil Kant Munjal, Chairman, Hero Enterprise said, “Through Confluence Ideathon 2021, we wish to pick up the best ideas which will help us set up a cultural centre on a global scale, set in a local context, and one that will host various forms of creative expression.”

Post submission, the applications and ideas, therein, will be reviewed, followed by successive rounds of deliberation by the jury, divided into phases through the month of January and February 2021.

The participants will be duly notified about the status of their application through the process of shortlisting, at each stage.

The deliberations will lead to the Ideathon week, slated for February 23 –March 4, 2021, where shortlisted ideas from each category will be presented to the jury.

The winners will be declared by the first week of March.

The winners and the runners-up of the Ideathon from each category will be suitably rewarded and recognized.
Some of the top winners, according to the organisers, may also get an opportunity to be mentored by the Ideathon’s partners and may even get co-opted into the implementation of their ideas.

Smriti Rajgarhia, Director, Serendipity Arts Foundation, said, “Through this Ideathon, not only will we be able to create a sustainable cultural landmark in the National Capital Region, but we will also be able to share a cultural legacy for generations to come.”

Serendipity Arts Foundation is the knowledge partner.
