Play Creators Festival

The three-day festival is moving one week earlier than previously announced (2nd – 4th September).

“It is a key event on our yearly calendar as we meet with talented students, inventors (new and old) and industry colleagues in a great and innovative environment.”

“We’re hoping the event is going to be a great way to meet with inventors that are relevant to us, helping us to find our next key concept or idea,” said Mookie’s Claire Olewnik.

“We are delighted to be partnering with Mojo Nation on their first ever Awards, which champion the industry’s leading products, individuals and companies,” said Wynne-Jones IP’s Jayne Nation.

The secret weapon for many toy firms, design agencies and invention studios are the unsung heroes of our industry. This category celebrates a firm that deserves recognition for exceptional work over the last 12 months.

Whether the in-house team at a toy titan, or leading design at a thriving SME, this award celebrates teams working in Research & Development that have achieved extraordinary things over the last year.

Nominations are now open for the Play Creators Awards, taking place at the 2019 Play Creators Festival.

“Mojo Nation are really at the beginning of something special and their dedication and passion for bringing together creatives from all sides of the toy industry is extremely inspiring,” said Alpha’s Darren Lee Phillipson

“The Mojo Pitch event is key for Vivid to continue our contact with the inventor community and also to see a new pool of inventor talent we are now yet aware of,” said Vivid’s Alex Reynolds.

Categories include R&D Team of the Year, Design Agency of the Year and Toy Designer of the Year.
