We worked with Paddington Arts from May-November 2018 to manage an online creative writing and photography competition for young people between the ages of 16 & 24. We managed to reach out to a wide audience from the UK, Europe and beyond.
“Even before rules were recorded, morality was expected…”
-Shaniqua Benjamin (1st Prize Winner)
The competition encouraged adolescents to explore prevalent issues related to faith, identity and belonging through the creative arts and writing.
After receiving numerous photograph and article submissions, we offered prizes to the best three in each category. Below are some of the inspiring photography submissions we received.
“Belonging is me, belonging is us, belonging is we.”
-Nabeela Mulbocus (2nd Prize Winner)
Each and every submission was unique, impactful and inspiring. We decided to print booklets with a selection of the outstanding entries to give to the participants and guests at the award ceremony.
