Making room for good ideasThe media industries are going through a period of rapid change. As technologies converge and platforms proliferate, finding time and space to develop projects which capture the imagination becomes even more tricky. Media Sandbox carves out a space for research, supporting brilliant people to make time and take risks.Networking creative talent from the South West with leading technology companies and content commissioners, Media Sandbox is a development programme which enables companies to research emerging possibilities in interactive, digital media, create new ideas and deliver innovation to the market.In 2009, six awards were made to research projects exploring innovative, interactive multi-platform content.
