Tweet early, Tweet often:
the Northern Spark mobile app
has landed!
In addition to a traditional printed guide we are happy to announce that Northern Spark 2012 has a mobile app available (now!!!) for both iPhone and Android.

tagged tweets are collected on each project page
tagged tweets for all projects are also collected on the app’s homepage
curate your night using the My Night feature
The app contains key information about all of the projects and venues, including maps, times, locations, and services. You can also Tweet about each project directly from the app — which will periodically reward you for participating with a variety of festival-related prizes. The more you tweet, the more prizes you can collect.
The My Night feature (built into the app and available on the website) lets you create a customized list of the projects you want to see at Northern Spark. Add (or remove) projects using the “My Night” button on individual project pages, and then access your selection as list or map within the app.
The Northern Spark mobile app is a great tool to help you navigate over 120 projects spread across five festival zones. Lewis and Clark didn’t have it so easy.
Last, but certainly not least: many, many thanks to the teams at Carmichael Lynch and Pixel Farm Digital for putting this amazing tool together for us this year. It’s an amazing addition to the festival.
