A ray of hope
This year we are asking people to use their imagination and creativity to share what a ‘ray of hope’ looks like to them. At the same time we want to raise awareness of our services and celebrate your creativity.
You can use any medium: paints, pencils, crayons, inks, collage, material etc. as long as it is two dimensional.
You can create a piece as an individual or as part of a group.
Take a look at last year's finalists for inspiration!
