Creative England

Creative England is a not for profit organisation that supports the creative industries in the United Kingdom. The business promotes the development of creative companies, which in turn support business across games, film, creative and digital media as well as production services. The company works in partnership with the British Film Institute, has offices in Birmingham, Bristol and Salford, and operates outside of the city of London.

Creative England was formed by the consolidation of a number of regional film commissions into one body after the UK government dismantled the United Kingdom Film Council in 2011. It is funded by both public and private investment. It has developed partnerships and collaborations with companies including Google, Facebook and KPMG, as well as local authorities, cultural bodies and universities, national government, and the European Commission.

Creative England curates the film making competitions iShorts, iFeatures and iWrite. These provide mentoring and funding to emerging film makers. The organisation collaborated with Microsoft in 2013 and 2014 to launch Greenshoots, a game development competition which provides funding and market advice from industry experts to the winners.
