We're as tight as a librarian's pursed lips here in Editorial world (aren't all music journos?) and love a good competition when it comes our way. One that stood out when it hit our inbox was Creative 30 - a comp for the creative sods out there. There's cash to be won just for having a great idea or a hidden talent.
Wrap your doe-eyes around this one. And get creative... pronto.

VICE, Volvo and The Independent team up to find and celebrate the UK's next generation of promising creative talent
The first annual Creative 30 competition is an opportunity for up-and-coming UK creative talent to gain national recognition and compete to win £10,000 or a Volvo C30 R-DESIGN
London - August 22, 2008 -- To help select the Creative 30 shortlist, VICE and The Independent have enlisted UK creative icons such as fashion designer Vivienne Westwood and Turner prize-winning conceptual artist Martin Creed to select the first 15 of the Creative 30 nominees.
"The UK has always had a very strong and individual identity in almost every creative field. With projects like this, I hope that it will help our next generation of creators find success and hopefully influence the future generations to explore their own talents and pursue their creative path", said Creative 30 Icon and artist Peter Fowler.
In addition to the above, confirmed Creative 30 Icons include photographers Valerie Phillips and Gavin Watson, cultural critic Stephen Bayley, music video director Saam Farahmand, illustrators Daisy de Villeneuve and Jiro Bevis, author Philip Hescher, editor of Icon Magazine Justin McGuirk, architect Charlotte Skene Catling, musicians James Righton, Estelle, Wiley and Mystery Jets front man Blaine Harrison.
Based on the open call submissions received, a panel of judges will select 15 nominees, completing the Creative 30. Three-minute mini documentaries for each of the candidates will be aired on creative30.net and the public will then be encouraged to vote for a winner.
The campaign will be wrapped up in November when a prize of £10,000 will be awarded by the jury to one of the Creative 30 nominees and a Volvo C30 R-DESIGN will be given to the nominee with the most people's votes.
Now where did we put that hidden talent?...
