Calling creative bureaucrats from all levels of government!
Call for Participation
Our Global Call for Participation 2027 is open now!
Have an idea, project or approach that could inspire better public administration? For the 10th anniversary of the Creative Bureaucracy Festival, we are looking for contributions that show what is possible. Find all details on categories, requirements and how to apply below. Apply by 11 December 2026.
In the meantime, explore our Innovation Library to discover projects from past calls and see how creative bureaucrats around the world are turning ideas into impact. From improving public services to finding new ways of working together, these examples offer inspiration for tackling challenges in your own context — and for what you might contribute to our next call.
