The WBF Creative Hotspot
During the WBF Online Awards, artists from all over the world are able to create as at the real comeptition - some working from home, while others prefer to gather in small groups at studios, creative spaces, or even outdoors. These gathering places are known as “WBF Creative Hotspots”, and we love to highlight them during our live broadcast when announcing the results.
Would you like to host a WBF Creative Hotspot in your town or city? It’s a wonderful way to bring artists together for the Online Awards and be part of the global celebration. Send us a request -we’d be happy to include you!
Let’s color the world with the art of bodypainting!
