Happy New Year!

With a new year comes fresh possibilities, new energy and plenty of opportunities to be seen, celebrated and supported. As 2026 gets underway (already moving at a fair pace!), we’re delighted to officially launch a new Creative Harborough initiative we’ve been quietly hinting at for a while…

Introducing Creative of the Month.

This new feature is all about shining a spotlight on the wonderful individuals and groups that make up our creative community. Each month, we’ll select one creative from the Creative Harborough Directory to be featured in a dedicated article on the main part of our website — giving you the chance to share your story, your work, and what inspires you.

Why Take Part?

Being featured as Creative of the Month is a simple but powerful way to:

• Increase your visibility and reach new audiences

• Attract enquiries, collaborators or participants

• Share your creative journey in your own words

• Have a ready-made article you can share across your website, social media and mailing list

  
  

If you’re thinking, “That sounds great, but I’m not sure I’m ready”  this is your gentle nudge. If you’re part of Creative Harborough, you will get all the help we can provide - read on and all will become clear.

How to Get Involved

Taking part is easy:

• Make sure your Creative Harborough Directory entry is completed and published

• Let us know you’d like to be considered by replying to the email linked to this post or by contacting us directly on karinblak@creaticeharborough.org

  
  

That’s it. By putting your name forward, you’re opening the door to being featured — and we’ll take care of the rest.

What Happens If You’re Selected?

If you’re chosen as Creative of the Month, you’ll receive an email from Karin with five friendly questions designed to draw out your story and highlight your work.

No need to worry if writing isn’t your comfort zone — Karin will shape your answers into a warm, engaging article that reflects you and what you do. All we ask is that you:

• Answer the five questions as openly as you can

• Send back your responses along with 1–4 good-quality images

  
  

Once Your Article Is Live

When your article is published:

• You’ll receive a direct link to share

• We’ll promote it across Creative Harborough’s social media platforms

• You’re encouraged to share it on your own social channels

• Add it to your website or email it to your followers

• Use it in any way that helps promote your work and build momentum
