The competition is open to photographers, audio producers and short film makers exploring your own, or someone close to you, experience of a mental illness.  You don’t need to be a professional or hold any qualifications to enter, all stories are valid and welcome.

Entries are encouraged to explore the emotion of their experiences but to also touch broadly on any one or all the following perspectives:

Lived Experience.

Mental illness encompasses a range of disorders, some transient, others chronic, and each is a personal story of a lived experience. Images, short films or music can be based on a wide range of emotions, reactions, responses, and representations, reflecting the diversity of people’s experience.  Each story is personal and so is the journey. 

Recovery & Hope.

Many people recover fully or partially from a mental health condition and go on to live fulfilling and meaningful lives. Images, short movies or music celebrating recovery, wellness and contributing back into the community can provide hope for those still finding their way.
