The 2024 Call for Participation is now open

The Call for Participation for our 2024 programme is now open. We are calling all creative minds and public sector innovators from all over the world and at all levels to show us your contribution to strengthening democracy.

Send us your application until 15 December 2023 in three different categories to become part of our Digital Kick-Off Day on 21 March 2024. We look forward to receiving your groundbreaking project showcases, your creative digital workshop formats, and your brand-new podcast episode ideas on public innovation and systemic change.

We are looking for ideas, methods, and tools to surface both effective, practical examples of existing bureaucracy hacking in action as well as bold, imaginative approaches to growing our collective capability to envision brighter futures.

For the first time this year you can send applications in three different categories:

Submit a Project Showcase
Tell us about a project that demonstrates effective bureaucracy hacking in action – whether you’re a public intrapreneur pushing change from the inside out, or an ally helping to rewire public institutions from the outside in.
Selected submissions will present a video during the Digital Kick-Off Day and take part in our community voting. The voting winners will be invited to share their ideas on stage during the Creative Bureaucracy Festival 2024 live in Berlin.

Submit a Digital Workshop
Empower others with your imaginative toolbox! Apply to run a live (< 90-minute) workshop as part of the Digital Kick-Off Day. Here we are looking for bold, imaginative approaches to upskilling and inspiring others to collectively reimagine brighter futures and take practical action towards getting there. Workshop blocks will be offered to suit different timezones across the day.

Submit a Podcast Episode
Are you a podcast host who would like to publish a creative bureaucracy themed episode to coincide with the Digital Kick-Off Day?
Whether your podcast is directly focused on public innovation, or it covers another systemic change topic which feels relevant for our creative bureaucracy audience, we’re open to your ideas!
