A large variety of content has been published on the World Wide Web since its invention at CERN by Sir Tim Berners-Lee in 1989. Initially conceived as a platform to publish and consume hypertext in a distributed fashion, the Web has never stopped growing in content in various forms and media text, images, sound, music, video, data, and a large et cetera. Traditionally these forms and media have been the natural spaces of human creativity, imagination and invention.

Many of these have transcended the limitations of their original ecosystems in isolation, becoming creative works in ways that would have been impossible without the Web as a collaboration, cooperation, and publication platform. More and more often, we see the Web as a facilitator of creative work not just between collaborating humans, but also between humans and machines.

Much attention has been given to the information content of the Web. This track investigates the creative aspects of this content on the Web. The track consists of two strands: a research strand and (focusing on the scientific study of Web creativity systems) an art works strand (focusing on the creative output of such systems). Through the submissions and session at the conference we hope to gain more insights into the following:
* What is creativity on the Web?
* In what forms does creativity on the Web manifest?
* How do we value creativity on the Web?
* How do we facilitate creativity on the Web?
* How do communities gather and leverage the Web for creativity?
* What properties do Web-based creative sociotechnical systems have?

Topics include but are not limited to:
* Human-machine creativity on the Web
* Artificial Intelligence, creativity and the Web
* Multimodality
* Ownership, provenance, and IPR (NFTs?)
* Sustainability of creative works
* Value
* Web enabled co-creation

Accepted research papers and art work descriptions will be published by ACM in the conference proceedings. Research papers will be published in the research volume, while art work descriptions will be published in the companion volume.
