We are excited to invite you to participate in our creative competition exploring the theme "Being British". This is your opportunity to express your thoughts, experiences, and visions of British identity through poetry, art, storytelling, or spoken word.

Britain is a diverse and vibrant nation, enriched by the multitude of cultures, backgrounds, and perspectives that make up our society. But with this diversity comes the responsibility to understand and celebrate our differences, while also working together to eliminate discrimination in all its forms.

We invite you to share your voice and creativity in addressing these powerful themes:

- What does being British mean to you?

- How can we unite as a society to end discrimination and promote inclusivity?

Categories: 

Poetry: Use the power of words to capture the essence of British identity or address the challenges of discrimination.

Art: Express your interpretation of British life, culture, and unity through visual mediums. 

Story Writing: Share personal or fictional stories that reflect the diverse experiences of being British.

Spoken Word: Perform a piece that speaks to the heart of what it means to be British and how we can foster a more inclusive society.

This competition is open to everyone—regardless of age, background, or experience. We encourage participation from all corners of the community, as we believe every voice matters in the conversation about British identity and equality.

Winners in each category will receive an exciting prize along with the opportunity to have their work featured in our 30th-anniversary celebration event & exhibition.
