Media Sandbox 2010 has just launched and will open for applications in February, with project selection taking place in March. This years’ theme is: Rich Pervasive Experiences

As usual, they are looking for ground-breaking ideas that dovetail mobile, wireless and sensory technologies with content and context, to create meaningful experiences.

The website http://www.mediasandbox.co.uk/awards/ gives more information about the initative, what they are looking for this year and details of the winners from the last two years.

Also this week the Sandbox Surgeries begin. These drop-in sessions will be held at the Pervasive Media Studio and offer the opportunity to discuss any aspect of the scheme, such as the application process, potential ideas or partnerships. Surgeries will be held every Thursday lunchtime until 28th January (with the exception of the 24th and 31st December) For more information and to register to attend visit http://www.mediasandbox.co.uk/events/
