Winner:

‘Bus-Tops’ proves that the Olympics will breath new life into all corners of the capital, transforming the previously unloved tops of  bus shelters into a London-wide digital canvas for artists. There is a spirit of openness and innovation about Bus-Tops, which uses new technology to enable both artists and the wider public to become involved in developing and creating art for the city. The panel is thrilled by the idea of the 'art public', and the world-first element of revealing hidden spaces for art in the heart of the city.
