The Amaze Project has been developed by Civil Servants to look at ways to reduce creative media costs within the Civil Service by using Civil Servants, the public, & the education system. Site users will be able to take part in both work related projects as well as fun based activities too.

 The site is open to the public too, as we believe strongly that the public may be key to helping us acheive our aim, and look forward to working together. You can view the DEVELOPMENT SITE at www.amazeproject.co.uk

Over the coming months we will be introducing several new 'partner' websites that will allow site users to be creative and take part in projects without spending a penny, this includes My Online Band who will provide online music collaboration software, PSDTUT's who will give site users free Adobe Photoshop Tutorials, and many, many more.

The site itself will also have several links to lots of free open source software such as GIMP (an open source Photoshop), Aviary (music creation & Photoshop alternative), Audacity (audio recording software), and many others too.

The idea is that we will want our site users to be able to join the site and get creative straight away without having to pay anything.

On top of this we will have opportunities for site users to showcase thier creative talents not just within the workplace, but around the internet too and will point them in the right direction for great opportunities we find.

Over the coming months this page will be updated, well in fact the whole group page will be updated to reflect the changes happening within the Amaze Project..
