On behalf of Partners in Salford, Unlimited Potential wishes to commission a creative resource that reflects a new horizon: an inclusive and green economy in Salford that is good for people’s health and wellbeing – what the future could look like.
Aim
To produce a creative representation of an inclusive and green economy in Salford that is its new horizon – what the future could look like, which is good for people’s health and well-being. This will be the long-term successor to ‘business as usual’.
Vision
A fairer and more inclusive local economy that delivers greater social and environmental justice, where wealth is shared more widely across all our communities. This means an economy where every Salford citizen has the opportunity to participate and feel empowered to make a difference through their communities, workplaces and local democratic institutions. Salford will be a fairer, greener and healthier place where everyone can reach their full potential and live prosperous and fulfilling lives, free from poverty and inequality.
We are seeking an imaginative but realistic interpretation of our vision, in order to get this across in a different, non-traditional way. We are open to any form of artistic or creative approach that can be used over years. We want one main output, but are open to joint proposals between creative people/organisations. The purpose of the creative resource is to illustrate to local people, decision makers and system leaders what an inclusive and green economy could look like. It will be used to make the case for a different economic approach that is fairer, greener and healthier for everyone, through which wealth is collectively created and retained within all communities.
The selection process will be in two stages:
- submission of ‘light touch’ ideas for this brief (no more than one page or equivalent) – this can be presented in any form that you feel is appropriate (written, video, or another format). 2-4 of these ideas will be selected for further discussion
- shortlisted ideas will each be given £500 to work up their concepts – from which one will be selected for the full commission of £20,000

Deadline for initial ideas is 10.00 a.m. on Monday 21st October, 2024.
