welcome

Welcome to Badge Project.

Between the 14th and the 27th May you can take part in the greatest badge collecting fun on earth! How do you do it? Well on this website you will find everything you need to navigate around Leeds to collect the set - oh except for an A-Z, which might be really helpful!

How does it work: Monitor has commissioned 8 artists to make badges in response to 8 postcode areas of Leeds. To gain your FREE badges and complete the full set, you need to travel around the periphery of the city centre. The badges are ONLY available in the postcode area they have been made for so you will need to get out and about!

Click here for a list of buses

Click here for an amazing day out on the buses in Leeds - a circular route to get all 8 badges in one day - you'll need a day bus pass and a map and your sandwiches (or buy then from the lovely deli in LS8!)

And finally but most definitely not least...a cycle route - collect all 8 badges and get fit at the same time!! Click here for the directions

LETS DO IT - WebsterGotts (art pals from Sheffield) attempt the Monitor Badge Project - video evidence that it is possible!!

Photos of our lovelly venues coming soon!

And finally - Monitor has made a badge for LS1/2/3 to complete the set (which makes a map of Leeds when you put it together). It is available on the launch night on TUESDAY 15th MAY at Subculture, Merrion Centre, Leeds from 7pm-10pm. If you've missed this - and you've collected all of the other 8 badges, email us@monitorleeds.org and we'll send you one!

Also on the website is the blog of the research undertaken by the artists in order to design their badges. Please use the archive section to navigate through the old posts.
