Overview

What would happen if you put 20 emerging creative talents + top line mentors in a room together?

Semi-Permanent is giving twenty creatives, irrespective of their stage of career & genre of skills, an opportunity to collaborate on a real life project, giving insights into the exciting, fast paced and meaningful projects happening at Google today.

If selected you'll be invited to work with four Semi-Permanent artist mentors, four Google designers and 19 of your peers, in an all day workshop in Sydney. We've got the project brief covered, your creative tools, food & drinks, books.

Who know what opportunities will come from there? We have a few clues, but get involved to start with.

If you can't make it to Sydney, keep an eye out because we might be coming to your local city soon.
