Presentations

Thank you for your interest in presenting at Spark Lite at the Royal Spa Centre on Friday 14 February 2025! This year, we’re excited to showcase creative projects and ideas from across the district, inspiring and connecting Spark delegates. Due to limited space and budget, we’re unable to accommodate all submissions, but we warmly encourage you to apply. Below, you’ll find key details about the sessions, how to apply, and the selection process.

About the Sessions

We’re offering 10 x 10-minute slots across two sessions:

• Session Times: 10:30–11:30 am and 12:30–1:30 pm
• Location: Studio Theatre, Royal Spa Centre (Ground Floor)
• Audience Size: Up to 170 people

We welcome presentations from all areas of the creative sector, including arts, heritage, technology, film, and community projects. Our goal is to curate a programme that celebrates the diversity and creativity of the district.

Selection Process

Applications will be reviewed on Monday, 13 January by members of Warwick District Creative Compact. We aim to reflect the area’s creative breadth and diversity, focusing on:

Preference will be given to applicants based in the district’s four towns, but others may be considered.

You’ll hear from us by Thursday, 16 January about the outcome of your application.

• Submission: Presentations must be submitted 3 days before the event.
• Important: Embedded sound/video is fine, but external links (e.g., YouTube) won’t work. Personal laptops cannot be used.
